Dear place
I've never yet been
My heart's in you
and your city filled with sin
I yearn for the bright lights
the passing cars
and sleepless nights
staying up
to the sounds of the city
and night life so pretty
countless nights I've sat
in my room alone
with my best friend
on the phone
discussing your brilliance
and your lingering ambiance
I left my heart there
when I visited the images in my mind
and i'll visit again
in a few seconds time
because this is reality
and i need an escape
someplace sacred to go
I'm putting my faith in you
here I come Chicago.
