Upon Arrival - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Peter Cetera]

A chauffeur dressed in gray

Holds a sign, in leather gloves

With instructions to meet the VIP

Upon arrival

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

Now announcing the touchdown off the flight

It's right on time

And a wave of excitement sweeps the room

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

Now, as the people go separate ways

I stand amazed

Everyone has a story you could tell

Upon arrival

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
