Kansas.
Only n form in my fancy
That comes when the lights are low,
To carry me back In my VISION
To the land where the sunflowers grow
Back to my Home as left 1t,
With scenes SO dear to me sun;
And memory's canvas so painteu
That yield to a lonesome thrill.
Maybe the face of loved one,
Someone that can't forget;
Sometimes a thought or picture
That sticks in my memory yet
VIII suddenly come to my VISION
And l live the thing over again,
That seemed so great to me theh'
These are the touches of Kansas
That come to us fellows who roam.
To carry us back to our birthplace
To the land that we used to call home'
And always a feeling of longing
To return to our Kansas great,
Lies deep in the hearts within us
Us sons of the Sunflower state
