Say Hello To Chicago When the blues moved north, to Chicago they came And I caught some myself in this blind alley in rain Close to the L with it's clattering train Near an old ornate theatre 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
