1927 Kansas City

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 --- 1927 Kansas City - David Soul
