Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 take me back
[Verse 2]
Kansas City lights, in my mind they shine so bright
She's waitin' there, I've been away too long
Kansas City lights shine for me tonight
Watch over her for me till I get home
[Verse 3]
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
You're always in my dreams and in my prayers
[Verse 4]
Kansas City lights, in my mind they shine so bright
She's waitin' there, I've been away too long
Kansas City lights shine for me tonight
Watch over her for me till I get home
[Verse 5]
I dream I feel the plane descending
Above the lights of Kansas City
And as the plane touches down
I see her standing there right now
[Verse 6]
Kansas City lights, in my mind they shine so bright
She's waitin' there, I've been away too long
Kansas City lights, please shine for me tonight
Watch over her for me till I get home
[Verse 7]
(Kansas City lights shine for me tonight)
She's waitin' there, I've been away too long
Kansas City lights, oh, please shine for me tonight
Watch over her for me till I get home
