Wishing You Were HereChicago

Featuring: The Beach Boys

Songwriter: Peter Cetera

Producer: James William Guercio

[Verse 1]
Sleepless hours and dreamless nights and far aways
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were, wishing you were here
Heaven knows and lord it shows when I'm away
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were, wishing you were here

[Chorus]
Ah ah
Ah ah

[Verse 2]
Same old show in a different town on another time
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were, wishing you were here
Even though you're far away, you're on my mind
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were, wishing you were here

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
And I'd like to change my life, and you know I would
Just to be with you tonight, baby, if I could
But I've got my job to do, and I do it well
(Change my life, change my life)
So I guess that's how it is

[Chorus]
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here

[Verse 3]
On the road it's a heavy load, but I'll be by
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were, wishing you were here
Pay the price, make a sacrifice, and still I'll try
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were, wishing you were here

Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were, wishing you were here
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were, wishing you were here

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.
