Bluegrass Songs - Lyrics

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 withinA 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 withinSo if your lonely too I'll be right there with you     
I'll be thinking of you dear when the bright lights grow dim
