I remember still, I guess I always will
That winters day I took the west bound flight,
As I looked down from the plane you were standing in the rain,
You waved goodbye till I was out of sight.
And I can see them shining through the willows and the pines,
The lights of Cincinnati, oh, so many miles behind,
I could build myself a new life and make it on my own,
But the lights of Cincinnati will keep calling me back home.
Sometimes late at night I watch the fire light
Make pictures of a life that used to be,
For a moment I'm back there in that same old rocking chair,
You look across the room and smile at me.
