1927 Kansas City - David Soul

He bought her a flower at the fair

1927 Kansas City

Said he liked the color of her hair

Then he walked her home and told her she was pretty

Then they spent a little while

Letting their hearts learn to smile

Doing things that lovers always do

He said «How many kids?»

She said «A few»

And it’s 1927 Kansas CIty

Folks were drivin' round in their stutz bearcats

With straw hats, parasols, the fashion of the day

Summer nights with ukulele strumming

They were humming to the tune of moonlight bay

Batchtub gin and movie stars

Two more payments and the baby’s ours

It’s the little things that make this live so sweet

When your only worries were your two sore feet

From dancin' in the street in Kansas City

So fine the little ol' couple in love

Space in time the little ol' couple in love

Nowadays there’s silver in her hair

The kids have come and gone like seasons turning

Forty years since they met at the fair

But he still brings her flowers in the morning

Knowing when the shadows fall

Life’s a circle after all

Reminding her their love can never end

Suddenly she’s just a girl again

And it’s 1927 Kansas City
