Chicago

Most of my life
I was living without you...
Something always seemed so incomplete
Through the years
I was thinking about you...
Waiting for the moment we would meet

How do you do?
Good to see you!
What are your thoughts?
Did you need to...
Had so long 'til the feeling...
Something was wrong...

(there are no) Here is where we begin
Its all very clear...
For this is the end
Of being alone
We've waited so long...
We'll make it forever

Nights I would dream
Of the day we made contact
Its come true
Now I'm standing at your door
After a time did you come to forget me?
Here I am
Now I'm standing at your door

How do you do?
Good to see you!
What are your thoughts?
Did you need to...
Had so long 'til the feeling...
Something was wrong...

(there are no) Here is where we begin
Its all very clear...
For this is the end
Of being alone
We've waited so long...
We'll make it forever

(there are no) Here is where we begin
Its all very clear...
For this is the end
Of being alone
We've waited so long...

(there are no) Here is where we begin
Its all very clear...
For this is the end
Of being alone
We've waited so long...

(there are no) Here (Oh here is where we begin) is where we begin
(It's all so clear) Its all very clear...
(This is the end) For this is the end
Of being alone
We've waited so long..

Chicago is a rock band hailing from the Illinois city of the same name. With its multitude of certified gold and platinum hits, the band has had enough longevity to last for over fifty years.

Chicago was formed on February 15, 1967, between keyboardist/singer Robert Lamm, trumpeter Lee Loughnane, saxophonist Walter Parazaider, drummer Danny Seraphine, guitarist Terry Kath, and trombonist James Pankow. The group called themselves “The Big Thing,” and played Top 40 hits in nightclubs in Chicago. In 1968, the band relocated to Los Angles, and changed their name to Chicago Transit Authority. They gained massive amounts of exposure to famous musicians of the time by regularly playing at the Whiskey A Go Go nightclub. In 1969, they released a self-titled album which peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart. The next year, the band shortened their name to “Chicago” to avoid a lawsuit from the actual company of the same name.

The band has released a plethora of albums, most of them titled Chicago enumerated with Roman numerals. The band changed its sound in the late 70s and 80s following the death of Terry Kath. Since then, the band has still carried on a legacy for the decades following, but has slowed the release of original music to a trickle.
