Chicago

[Verse 1]
When I saw your face
I could feel my heart-beat begin to race
In the still of the night
It was love at first sight
Not too long ago
I was on my own
Never would have known
You'd come into my life
Now, you're the love of my life

[Chorus]
Once in a lifetime
Maybe the last time
Just the right time to fall in love
Once in a lifetime
For such a long time
I've been waiting for you

[Verse 2]
You were there for me
I was there for you
We were meant to be
Now we're falling in love
Finally falling in love

[Chorus][x3]

[Outro]
Once in a lifetime...

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.
