Say Hello to Chicago
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 it's clattering train
Near an old ornate theatre where I soon will be playing
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've 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
Well 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 come and they 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
