Toto

Songwriter: David Paich Steve Porcaro

In a little while
We can both be together
In a little while
We could be all alone

For a little while
While I hold on and hold out
Will you be there
In this city when I'm coming home

In a little while
When the wind change direction
If I had a wish
It's having you in my arms

For a little while
If you hold on and hold out
I will be there
To keep you safe from harm

In a little while
We could make love forever
In a little while
Till our hearts beat together
Throw away your gasp
Till the full moon is over
Yes, I, I'll be there in a little while

With you right there beside me
Loneliness will be something I've never known
For a little while
If I hold on and hold out
Will you be there
In this city when I'm coming home

In a little while
We could make love forever
In a little while
Till our hearts beat together
Throw away your gasp
Till the full moon is over
Yes, I'll be there in a little while

All the people in the other room
Couldn't feel the love that last
Long fate has tapped me - another chance
For how long that it is - not the longer it was
Soon this is thrill, you know I need you

For a little while
Yes, I hold on and hold out
Will you be there
In this city where I'm going home
Will you be there
In this city where I'm going home
I will be there

In a little while, in a little while
Should be sleeping, sleeping
Just a little while - hold on and hold out
Till I'm creeping old

In a little while, in a little while
In a little while, in a little while
Should be sleeping
Hold on and hold out
Just a little while

Toto is an American rock band formed in 1977 in Van Nuys in Los Angeles, California. The band’s current lineup consists of Joseph Williams (lead vocals), David Paich (keyboards, vocals), Steve Porcaro (keyboards), Steve Lukather (guitars, vocals), Shem von Schroeck (bass), and Shannon Forrest (drums). Toto is known for a musical style that combines elements of pop, rock, soul, funk, progressive rock, hard rock, R&B, blues, and jazz.

David Paich and Jeff Porcaro had played together as session musicians on several albums and decided to form a band. David Hungate, Steve Lukather, Steve Porcaro, and Bobby Kimball were recruited before their first album release. The band enjoyed great commercial success in the late 1970s and 1980s, beginning with the band’s eponymous debut released in 1978. With the release of the critically acclaimed and commercially successful Toto IV from 1982, Toto became one of the best-selling music groups of their era. They are best known for the Top 5 hits “Hold the Line”, “Rosanna”, and “Africa”. Several changes to the lineup have been made over the years. Hungate left in 1982 followed by Kimball in 1984 but rejoined the band in 1998 until 2008. Jeff Porcaro died in 1992 of a heart attack. Hungate rejoined Toto as a touring musician and later a band member. In 2008, Lukather announced his departure from the band, and the remaining band members later went their separate ways. In the summer of 2010, Toto reformed and went on a short European tour, with a new lineup, to benefit Mike Porcaro, who had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and was no longer an active member of the band.

The band has released a total of 17 albums, and have sold over 40 million albums to date. The group was honored with several Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2009.
