| When the blues moved north to Chicago they came
|
| And I caught some myself in this blind alley and rain
|
| Close to the L with its clattering train
|
| Near an old ornate theater where I soon will be playing
|
| I soon will be playing
|
| So I said hello for you, when I saw a stylish girl
|
| Walking by on the sidewalk with her hair in a swirl
|
| From the wind that was growing at the end of the day
|
| And I wondered what would be coming my way
|
| What would be coming my way, coming my way
|
| You know I been to Chicago, I was here once before
|
| And the rain kept on pounding outside the stage door
|
| I was singing and drinking with love in my heart
|
| I was younger and stronger while life played it’s part
|
| While life played it’s part, life played it’s part
|
| Life played it’s part
|
| Let us not be strangers if we come to know
|
| Things about each other that seem to come and go
|
| ‘Cause friendship is everything if love is to last
|
| And I have my guard down and love passes fast
|
| Love passes fast, love passes fast
|
| Love passes fast
|
| Say hello to Chicago
|
| Say hello to Chicago
|
| Say hello to Chicago
|
| Say hello to Chicago |
