Chicago

[Verse 1]
You hear a sound as she's leaving
You'll hear your heart pound so hard
You'll miss her warm touch and the way
Things once were
It's such a cold town when you miss her
It's not the same place no more
When it's hard to mend what's broken
And you still can't let her go
Beyond the storm there's an answer
Beyond the nights you spend alone
Beyond the headlights and the highways you go
You'll take a long ride without her
Until the tears dry away
In every way you try to reason
When there's no reason left to hold

[Chorus]
Only time can heal the wounded of love
Any day now time will tell
Only love can turn it all around again
There's no heart that time can't heal

[Verse 2]
Whatever pieces you're missing
Whatever you leave behind
However you look at things they do change
It's not the same conversation
It's not the way that it was
There'll be one less tear tomorrow
There'll be one less night alone

[Chorus] [x4]

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.
