OPENER    Mainstream

Sides face grand square
Six months out at sea
Be coming home soon on leave
I think of her as I stand here on the deck
Allemande and weave
Stars light the sky like a Kansas City night
Reflections on the water take me back

FIGURE    Plus, corner progression

Heads (Sides) fan the top and then
Ping pong circulate and now extend
Explode and load the boat go movin' around you know
Swing thru, acey deucey there
Boys run right, chain down the line and promenade
You're always in my dreams and in my prayers

MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Mainstream

Sides face grand square
Kansas City lights
In my mind they shine so bright
She's waiting there; I've been away too long
Allemande and weave the ring
Kansas City lights
Shine for me tonight
Watch over her for me till I get home

(No Tag)

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 a Kansas City night
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 till I get home

No war is ever won, find 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 till 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 please shine for me tonight
Watch over her for me till I get home

(Kansas City lights shine for me tonight)
She's waiting there, I've been away too long
Kansas City lights please shine for me tonight
Watch over her for me till I get home
