City Lights Lyrics


Sitting on the roof top,looking at the stars,
I'm not comin' down,'Cause I know Imma never stop
Sitting on the roof top,looking at the stars,
I'm not comin' down (down, down, down, down, down)
Bright like the city lights, city lights, city lights,
This was comin' now we're takin', makin' mo-o-ore, (Oh, oh, oh)
Bright like the city lights, city lights, city lights,
This was comin' now we're takin', makin' mo-o-ore. (Yeh, yeh, yeh)
When I was younger,
Yeh I knew that I was born to do this,
Ain't nothin' to it, (uh) I said to my momma,
I'm a star, she said,
Don't get in trouble, living in your bubble. (Yeh)
Baby you can see it in my eyes,
Feet on the ground,But I always wear my heels high,

I love this feelin' like I'm dreaming all the time,
This was comin' now we're takin', makin' mo-o-ore.
Bright like the city lights, city lights, city lights, (Oh, oh, oh)
Bright like the city lights,
Give it to you all night,
Bright like the city lights, city lights, city lights, (Oh, oh, oh)
Bright like the city lights,
Give it to you all night, (Oh, oh, oh)
Bright like the city lights, (Oh, oh, oh)
Bright like the city lights, (Oh, oh, oh)
Bright like the city lights, (Oh, oh, oh)
I'm bringin' it home.
Sitting on the roof top,
Looking at the stars, I'm not comin' down
(down, down, down, down, down)
I'm always looking for a good time,
All I need is one night,
Yeh the stage is all mine, (uh) and when the lights go off,
I step into the light,
Im gon' make you feel alright,now watch me!
Come on boys! watch me!
Baby you can see it in my eyes,
Feet on the ground,But I always wear my heels high,
I love this feelin' like I'm dreaming all the time,
This was comin' now we're takin', makin' mo-o-ore.
Bright like the city lights, city lights, city lights, (Oh, oh, oh)
Bright like the city lights,
Give it to you all night,
Bright like the city lights, city lights, city lights, (Oh, oh, oh)
Bright like the city lights,
Give it to you all night, (Oh, oh, oh)
Bright like the city lights, (Oh, oh, oh)
Bright like the city lights, (Oh, oh, oh)
Bright like the city lights, (Oh, oh, oh)
I'm bringin' it home.
Bright like the city lights, city lights, city lights, (Oh, oh, oh)
Bright like the city lights,
Give it to you all night,
Bright like the city lights, city lights, city lights, (Oh, oh, oh)
Bright like the city lights,
Give it to you all night, (Oh, oh, oh)
Bright like the city lights, (Oh, oh, oh)
Bright like the city lights, (Oh, oh, oh)
Bright like the city lights, (Oh, oh, oh)
I'm bringin' it home.

One of the all-time giants of the Hammond B-3, Jimmy McGriff (April 3, 1936 -- May 24, 2008) sometimes gets lost amid all the great soul-jazz organists from his hometown of Philadelphia. He was almost certainly the bluesiest of the major soul-jazz pioneers, and indeed, he often insisted that he was more of a blues musician than a jazz artist; nonetheless, he remained eclectic enough to blur the lines of classification.
