When the bright lights grow dim
I'm the laugh of the party, out every night Ain't got a worry but then The people who say I'm carefree and gay Don't know how I'm lonely when the bright lights grow dim People think cause I'm laughing, the past is behind But they don't know the sorrow within A heart that is hurtin' in a man bound by pride Who cries for an old love when the bright lights grow dim When the party has ended the loughter has died And I think of our parting again The smile leaves my face and tears take its place I cry for you darling when the bright lights grow dim So until you return I'll keep wearing a mask That will hide how I'm feeling within So if your lonely too I'll be right there with you I'll be thinking of you dear when the bright lights grow dim
