1927 Kansas City Lyrics - David Soul - David Soul

He bought her a flower at the fair 

1927 Kansas City 

Said he liked the color of her hair 

Then he walked her home and told her she was pretty 

Then they spent a little while 

Letting their hearts learn to smile 

Doing things that lovers always do 

He said "How many kids?" She said "A few" 

And it's 1927 Kansas CIty 

Folks were drivin' round in their stutz bearcats 

With straw hats, parasols, the fashion of the day 

Summer nights with ukulele strumming 

They were humming to the tune of moonlight bay 

Batchtub gin and movie stars 

Two more payments and the baby's ours 

It's the little things that make this live so sweet 

When your only worries were your two sore feet 

From dancin' in the street in Kansas City 

So fine the little ol' couple in love 

Space in time the little ol' couple in love 

Nowadays there's silver in her hair 

The kids have come and gone like seasons turning 

Forty years since they met at the fair 

But he still brings her flowers in the morning 

Knowing when the shadows fall 

Life's a circle after all 

Reminding her their love can never end 

Suddenly she's just a girl again 

And it's 1927 Kansas City
