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 the Kansas City lights.
Reflections on the water
Take me back.


Kansas City lights,
In my mind they shine so bright.
She's waiting there,
I've been away too long.
Kansas City lights,
Shine for me tonight.
Watch over her for me
'Til I get home.


No war is ever won,
Mine's 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."


Kansas City lights,
In my mind they shine so bright.
She's waiting there,
I've been away too long.
Kansas City lights,
Shine for me tonight.
Watch over her for me
'Til I get home.


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.

Kansas City lights,
In my mind they shine so bright.
She's waiting there,
I've been away too long.
Kansas City lights,
Shine for me tonight.
Watch over her for me
'Til I get home.


Kansas City lights,
In my mind they shine so bright.
She's waiting there,
I've been away too long.
Kansas City lights,
Shine for me tonight.
Watch over her for me
'Til I get home.
