six months out at sea be coming home soon on leave i think of her as i stand here on the deck stars light the sky like a kansas city night reflections on the water takes me back chorus kansas city lights in my mind they shine so bright she s waiting there i ve been away to long kansas city lights shine for me tonight watch over her for me till i get home no war is ever won find a job that must be done it s just sometimes it feels like no one cares waves are calm tonight as i take my pen and write your always in my dreams and in my prayers chorus kansas city lights in my mind they shine so bright she s waiting there i ve been away to long kansas city lights shine for me tonight watch over her for me till i get home i dream i feel the plane descending above the lights of kansas city as the plane touches down i see her standing there right now chorus kansas city lights in my mind they shine so bright she s waiting there i ve been away to long kansas city lights shine for me tonight watch over her for me till i get home she s waiting there i ve been away to long kansas city lights shine for me tonight watch over her
