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 its part Well life played its part Life played its part Life played its 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
