Chicago

What was I to you?
Maybe to show you
How truly beautiful you are
Yeah, Even though you've heard it forever
From the right one it's kind of like the weather
It becomes the truth
And what were you to me?
That is the question that will
Truly take forever to explain
Just know that what we have in time will travel
You see Things like this, they never quite unravel
They weave into our dreams
Love lives on
With or without people in it
The path it follows has no limit
Everything we do
Goes beyond
And even what we leave behind us
Someday will come back to find us
I'm telling you that we're that strong
What we had is never gone
Love lives on
What were we to us?
Something I know that will never
Happen in this world again
We were more than just each other's
Cheap attraction
So don't you ever think
That you were some distraction
'Cause time will bear to prove
Love lives on
With or without people in it
The path it follows has no limit
Everything we do
Goes beyond
And even what we leave behind us
Someday will come back to find us
I'm telling you that we're that strong
What we had is never gone
Love lives on
So go on now
And know that this is not the end
Just one more story we'll begin
I'll be out
When you look up at the stars at night
Just feel me in their faintest light
'Cause they'll know where I am
Always
Love lives on
With or without people in it
The path it follows has no limit
Everything we do
Goes beyond
And even what we leave behind us
Someday will come back to find us
I'm telling you that we're that strong
What we had is never gone
Love lives on. (7x)

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.
