Chicago

[Verse 1]
He was lost, uncertain
Only she could see
He was waiting for the night to end
And with just one kiss
Brought him back into the light again
He said nothing's going to stop us now
He said baby, nothing's going to stop us now

[Verse 2]
But tonight, she's waiting
For a stranger's touch at the dark end of a street
And the whispered words from the sidewalk
They sound so sweet
She says nothing's going to stop us now
She said baby, nothing's going to stop us now

[Chorus][x2]
Look out now, because she'll break your heart again
No one sees what the years have failed to mend, yeah
Standing there beneath the street lights
Telling secrets in the darkest night
Heaven's just a stolen kiss away

[Verse 3]
And her look, it lingers
On a restless night when you're back on the street again
With his empty dreams, there's another broken heart to mend
He says nothing's going to stop us now

[Outro]
Nothing's going to stop us
Nothing's going to stop us now...

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.
