We Can Last ForeverChicago

Songwriter: John Dexter Jason Scheff

Producer: Ron Nevison

[Verse 1]
Don't turn away
Because there is something I just want to say
I need you to stay
Don't ask me why
Because I don't even know
How I gave you my heart, I gave it all to you
Now there's no way that I can lose

[Chorus]
Every little look inside your eyes
Is all it takes to make me realize
We can last forever
With every little moment we can share
Going to let you know how much I care
I'll always be there

[Verse 2]
Don't walk away
Because there is something I just got to say:
I love you today
Just ask me why
You're all I'll ever need
Now that you're in my life
I really think you should know
That I never want to let you go

[Chorus]
Every little look inside your eyes
Is all it takes to make me realize
We can last forever
With every little moment we can share
Going to let you know how much I care
Love lift us away
We can last forever

[Chorus]

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.
