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
