[Verse 1]
Come join me for a ride
Leave your bags and get inside
We're going to a party in the light
Down the street we walk the night
There are people dancing left and right
Just jammin' to the rhythm of the heart

[Pre-Chorus]
Whenever the cares of life disturb your peace of mind
I'll show you the best place to leave it all behind

[Chorus]
Down by the city lights where the groove is right
Shining bright, shining bright now (ooh ooh ooh)
In the city lights we'll be dancing the blues away
Down by the city lights in the heat of the night
Shining bright, shining bright now (ooh ooh ooh)
In the city lights we'll be dancing the blues away

[Verse 2]
There is something in the air
Smiling faces everywhere
They're sending out a message to the night (sending out a message now)
Doesn't matter who you are
Don't have to be a superstar
If you believe that love will set you free
[Pre-Chorus]
Whenever the cares of life disturb your peace of mind (peace of mind)
I'll show you the best place to leave it all behind (leave it yeah yeah)

[Chorus]
Down by the city lights where the groove is right
Shining bright, shining bright now (ooh ooh ooh)
In the city lights we'll be dancing the blues away, yeah yeah
You know it's down by the city lights in the heat of the night
Shining bright, shining bright now (ooh ooh ooh)
In the city lights we'll be dancing the blues away

[Bridge]
And as the hours pass and the night turns in to dawn
You hear a voice so clear and strong
Just hold on to love and find the strength to carry on
People go on and on in to a better day
City lights, whoo
Shining bright, come on
City lights, right y'all know what to do once I count, come on everybody
One, two, three, go!

[Chorus]
City lights where the groove is right
Shining bright, shining bright now (ooh ooh ooh)
In the city lights we will be dancing the blues away, yeah yeah yeah tell me
City lights, oh yeah
Shining bright, shining bright (ooh ooh ooh)
City lights, oh yeah
City lights
Shining bright, shining bright now (ooh ooh ooh)
City lights
City lights
Shining bright (ooh ooh ooh)
City lights (everybody do now yeah yeah, you ain't ready for)
City lights where the groove is right
Shining bright and we're shining bright (ooh ooh ooh)
In the city lights we'll be dancing the blues away, yeah
