Copenhagen Lights
She was the girl who lived next door and she was the love of my life
I thought wed always be together I thought someday she would be my wife
Fate had its own plan and each day it grew stronger this hungry look in her eyes
She was under a spell I could tell from those Copenhagen lights
The city was a magnet and songs I sang could not compare
All I had wouldnt be enough, it didnt matter if it wasnt fair
I cant say I really blame her, like me she had the right to follow her dream
But it gets lonely when the only one .. you love no longer cares
(Chorus)
Copenhagen called her the way a lighthouse calls in a storm
What can a country boy offer next to Copenhagen lights
Big city promises look like shiny diamonds to a country girl
But Copenhagen lights have brought a lonely darkness to my world
(INST)
(Bridge)
Sometimes on a clear night ... I see those Copenhagen lights
Shining like diamonds in the night
I hope your dreams came true ... as I drink a toast to you
And quietly curse those Copenhagen lights
(Chorus)
Copenhagen called her the way a lighthouse calls in a storm
What can a country boy offer next to Copenhagen lights
Big city promises look like shiny diamonds to a country girl
But Copenhagen lights have brought a lonely darkness to my world
She was the girl who lived next door and she was the love of my life
