Chicago

If I should lose you
It wouldn't be the ending
I wouldn't lose my way
I'd be okay, life goes on
There are no guarantees

If I should lose you
I would embrace my freedom
Or find somebody else eventually
I'd be strong
I'd live with tragedy

But I don't ever wanna face that day
Never let love slip away
And I'll do anything to keep us safe
Keep us together
Don't ever want to lose your love

(I don't wanna lose)
It's never easy, feels like
The world's still falling
It seems like everything's opposed to love
Still we try
'Cause love is all there is

But I don't ever wanna face that day
Never let love slip away
And I'll do anything to keep us safe
Keep us together
Don't ever want to lose your love

(Never wanna lose your love)

Times are tough
Temptation everywhere

I don't ever wanna face that day
Never let love slip away
No one ever made me feel this way
Love's what I'm after
Love's all that matters, yeah

I don't ever wanna face that day
Never let love slip away
'Cause without you nothing
In the world would be the same

Ooh, life would go on
Ain't it all wrong
If I should ever lose your love

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.
