I left Chicago

Driving the van I was your man

But you had your mind set

On Chicago til the end

Now the breeze blows me back

To old friends, a new tune

But it's a little less pretty

This windy city

Without you

I'm up in the sky bar

The model guys are

Mixing me a drink

Clay gives mine a swirl

He says "hey, where's the girl?"

As he hands it to me with a wink

It tastes amazing

The sky is blazing

Violet, red and pink

What a pity, I think

And I feel blue

'Cos it's true

This windy city

It looks a little less pretty

Without you

When I left Chicago

I found myself under the rain

Now I'm flying higher

Summer breeze, another plane

Today looks amazing

From the window in the skies

But the Windy City

Seems a little less pretty

Without your eyes

It's six in the morning

The winter's thawing

Down on Oak Street beach

I look to the East

The sky's this feast of light

It's like a scene

Where two lovers kiss

In a Bob Zemeckis flick

Except it's missing a female lead

This city's more pretty with you I mean

Yeah it's true

This windy city

It looks a little less pretty

Without you

What a pity

We broke up on
