Chicago

We rode the train from Paris
To the cold Atlantic shore
The winter rain kept us
In each other's arms until the dawn
Do you remember?

Faster than the sun
Flying higher than everyone
Like a dream too good to last
I won't regret the past

Here with me
Deep down in my soul
Now and forever
A candle for the dark
I keep you here with me
A story with an unexpected end

The morning plane
Through empty doors
A mountain in the sky

A golden chain
The autumn treetops
Cast a knowing light
Do you remember?

We have no common ground
Treasure lost will not be found
We can blame our wild at heart
From now and from the start

Here with me
Deep down in my soul
Now and forever
A candle for the dark
I keep you here with me
A story with an unexpected end

Remember feelings I have known
And chasing dreams I've never done
Illusion led us both away
Hold me in your arms before you go

Here with me
Deep down in my soul
Now and forever
You are a candle for the dark
I need you here with me
A story with an unexpected end

Deep down in my soul
You will be here with me
A story with an unexpected end

Everywhere I go
You're here with me

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.
