Hello 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 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
