The shimmering lights of Chicago

Each row a beautiful glow

Blocks alight with the prettiest gold

And every skyscraper glimmering in the night

A beautiful yellow town

Alit with shining creations

Christmas has come early

When Chicago's up at night

Dotted cars drive past me

Only headlights are seen

They eyes of the bedazzled beetles

Glowing eerily in the night

Rows and rows of sparkling city

Sequined diamonds in a row

A town engulfed in tungsten and fluorescent-

This city thrives in the night

We slowly cross the lake

The city's lights linger

And in my heart, there's nothing much better

Than being over Chicago at night

Chicago's now a memory

As we reach another town

That sparkles just as pretty

As Chicago did at night

But it's not the same

Not the same sparkles in the sky

I know my Chigagoland

When it's alive at night

A beautiful village

A wondrous sight

When I look upon

Chicago at night
