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.
(Chorus) And I can see them shining Through the Willows and the Pines, The lights of Cincinatti 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.
