I can hear the crowd The sea of red My favorite shirt Willie was my favorite Bought a souvenir A few too many beers I whispered I love you As fireworks filled the sky When I think about St. Louis I can't help but think of you There's just something about this city Whenever I come passing through I can't help but reminisce If I had known it'd be our last kiss Oh, I never would left, left you in St. Louis
I got the call Out on the road Somewhere out west I never can remember You were holding on No, I couldn't sleep I just held the phone Took the first flight out that morning When I think about St. Louis I can't help but think of you There's just something about this city Whenever I come passing through I can't help but reminisce If I had known it'd be our last kiss Oh, I would never left, left you in St. Louis ♪ Somewhere over Kansas I looked across the sky Knew you left for heaven Felt you say goodbye ♪ When I think about St. Louis I can't help but think of you There's just something about this city Whenever I come passing through I can't help but reminisce If I had known it'd be our last kiss No, I would never left Never left you in St. Louis In St. Louis
