Upon Arrival

[Verse 1: Peter Cetera]
A chauffeur dressed in gray
Holds a sign, in leather gloves
With instructions to meet the VIP
Upon arrival

[Verse 2: Peter Cetera]
Father, mother, and sister
Trading smiles and playful shoves
And their son is coming back home
Coming to stay, ooh whoa oh
A lovely teenage queen stands there
Waits for the boy she loves
And she dreams of the summertime with him
Upon arrival

[Verse 3: Peter Cetera]
Now announcing the touchdown off the flight
It's right on time
And a wave of excitement sweeps the room
Ooh whoa oh
Ooh whoa oh

[Bridge: All, Robert Lamm, Peter Cetera]
Each second of every minute seems eternal
Time standing still
Hearts beating quicker
Minds racing fast
And then suddenly shouts of laughter
Tears of joy, flashes of light
Handshake, introductions, lover's kiss

[Instrumental]

[Verse 4: Peter Cetera]
Now, as the people go separate ways
I stand amazed
Everyone has a story you could tell
Upon arrival

[Outro: Peter Cetera]
Still, a girl in dark glasses waits until everyone's gone
And she weeps, she's all alone, her love is lost
Ooh whoa oh
Ooh whoa oh
