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

And I can see them shining
Through the Willows and the Pines
The lights of Cincinnati
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 firelight 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

And I can see them shining
Through the Willows and the Pines
The lights of Cincinnati
Oh, so many miles behind

I could build myself a new life
And make it on my own
But the lights of Cincinnati
Will be calling me back home

The lights of Cincinnati
Will keep calling me back home.
