Chicago

Sleigh bells ring
Are you listening
In the lane
Snow is glistening

A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away
Is the bluebird
Here to stay
Is a new bird
He sings a love song
As we stroll along

Walking in a winter
Walking in a winter wonderland
(Walking, walking)
Walking in a winter wonderland
(Walking, walking)

Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we've made

Walking in a winter
Walking in a winter wonderland
(Walking, walking)
Walking in a winter wonderland
(Walking, walking)
Walking in a winter
(Walking, walking)
Walking in a winter wonderland
(Walking, walking)

In the meadow
We can build a snowman
And pretend that
He is Parson Brown

He'll say
"Are you married?"
We'll say, "No man
But you can do the job
When you're in town"

Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we've made

Walking in a winter
Walking in a winter wonderland

Sleigh bells ring
Are you listening
(Are you listening)
In the lane
Snow is glistening

A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight

Walking in a winter
Walking in a winter wonderland
(Walking, walking)
Walking in a winter wonderland
(You got me walking, walking)
Walking in a winter
Walking in a winter wonderland
(Walking, walking)
Walking in a winter wonderland
(Walking, walking)

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.
