Let’s Take a LifetimeChicago

Say no more
If you want to kiss goodnight
That's all right by me

Close your door
Make sure the latch is tight
Fall gently to sleep

We don't have to rush ahead
Putting questions in your head
And an ache in your heart

Let's take a lifetime
All that we desire
Build it day by day into forever

Let's take a lifetime
All that you require
Here and now and ever

In these times
Love is not some harmless game
It's played strictly for keeps

No, it's no crime
Wanting me to feel the same
With the water so deep

Come tomorrow once again
We'll be together until then
We have dreaming to do

Let's take a lifetime
All that we desire
Build it day by day into forever

Let's take a lifetime
(Let's take a lifetime)
All that you require
(All that you require)

Let's not hurry through the night
When our love could last a lifetime

Let's take a lifetime
All that we desire
Build it day by day into forever

Let's take a lifetime
All that you require

Let's not hurry through the night
When our love could last a lifetime

Chicago

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.
