It was a cold Chicago night
as the snow fell around
and I thought that i just might
stay out late and hit the town

But when I saw you standing on the corner
I quickly changed my mind
because I'd rather be there with you
than at the bars anytime

It was a year ago today
when we met just down my street
you caught my eye and smiled
and knocked me off my feet

Now as we walk along the lakeside
beneath a skyline gold and bright
I see your face alight with wonder
at the beauty of the sight

And streetlights guide our steps to home
as we return no more to roam
til tomorrow night
