Vocalist: Steve Perry
lyrics by Steve Perry
Band: Journey ~ Originally released in 1978
Notes: Originally Steve Perry of Journey wrote "Lights" about Los Angeles. When
Journey recorded "Lights" for the Infinity album, L.A. was changed to 'the bay'
so that the group could exploit the advantages of a song set in San Francisco.
'Lights' turned out to be one of Journey's greatest hits.'
When the lights go down in the City
And the sun shines on the bay
Do I want to be there in my City
Ooh, ooh
So you think you're lonely
Well my friend I'm lonely too
I want to get back to my City by the bay
Ooh, ooh
It's sad, oh there's been mornings out on the road without you,
Without your charms,
Ooh, my, my, my, my, my
When the lights go down in the City
And the sun shines on the bay
Do I want to be there in my City
Ooh, ooh
When the lights go down in the City
And the sun shines on the bay
Do I want to be there in my City
Ooh, ooh
