Chicago — Overnight Cafe

[Verse 1: Peter Cetera] All alone on the road near the other side of town In the dark of the night and the rain was falling down Up ahead, said a sign, was the Overnight Cafe Maybe one for the road just to pass the night away Then she came in the room and she moved across the floor With the look of a woman who's been through it all before Then she smiled as she spoke, and it made me realize [Chorus: Peter Cetera] That the time was right, and the love was in her eyes That the time was right, and the love was in her eyes [Verse 2: Peter Cetera] Then she asked and I told her that I was due in town Hey mama, can you tell me what's on your mind? Then she told me that she'd like to see me hang around And maybe I could take her home Never know what could happen when we're both alone Now I'm back on the road and I'm running overtime Turn around if I could, and you know it crossed my mind But I know I'll be back because she made me realize [Chorus: Peter Cetera] That the time was right, and the love was in her eyes That the time was right, and the love was in her eyes
