Chicago Christmas (2019)












(Because) It's Christmastime lyrics - Chicago

I hear sleigh bells ringing
And the children singing
Winter stars are shining bright
For everyone, it's Christmas time

Holiday faces glowing
Sentimental feeling showing
I recall old friends I won't forget
Because it's Christmas time

As I walk along the avenue
There's a brass quartet performing through the night
Drop a handful in the hat, that's what we always do
The spirit of the season reminds us of the reason

I give you a hat
You give me some gloves
Kids got their toys
But what does it mean?
What does it say about love, about peace and goodwill?

World in such confusion
Kindness is the sweet solution
Take my hand as I reach out
Because it's Christmas time

As I walk along the avenue
There's a brass quartet performing through the night
Drop a handful in the hat, that's what we always do
The spirit of the season reminds us of the reason

All Over The World lyrics - Chicago

The year is ending
I feel the fall just fade away
As I think of the new friends in my life
And the ones who could not stay
You take my hand now
Oh, how your smile just warms my heart
The chill in the air, I don't mind at all
That's how easy love should start

All over the world, we're waiting
For the joy that the season brings
Every heart beat happy
And in love, our voices sing

Such busy lives now
And though we yearn for simple things
Our friends and our families all around
That's the best this life can bring

All over the world, we're waiting
For the joy that the season brings
Every heart beat happy
And in love, our voices sing

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

Yes, in love, our voices sing

Maybe December
Helps us remember
What we are grateful for
The new year is close now
Let's show all the world how
To love just a little more

All over the world, we're waiting
For the joy that the season brings
Every heart beat happy
And in peace, our voices sing

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

Peace and love, our voices sing

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

Peace and love, our voices sing

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

Peace and love, our voices sing

Bring My Baby Back lyrics - Chicago

Bring my baby, bring my baby back, Santa
Bring my baby, bring my baby back to me

I've been so lonely since she's been gone
I can't seem to get a grip, I'm barely holdin' on
And here it is, it's Christmas Eve
So hard to believe that she's not here with me

Santa Claus
(Bring my baby)
Bring my baby back to me?
(Bring my baby back, Santa)
I sent a letter to you
(Bring my baby)
Every word is true
She's everything I need
(Bring my baby back)

Santa please
(Bring my baby)
Bring my baby back to me
(Bring my baby back to me)

I hear there's a storm on its way tonight
Hope to see a white Christmas in the morning light
If I could only see her next to me
What a wonderful sight that would be

There's no place like home for the holidays
Who wants to be alone underneath the, the mistletoe
I want the stars to twinkle and those bells to jingle
While we're sleddin' through the snow

Santa Claus
(Bring my baby)
Won't you bring my baby back to me?
(Bring my baby back, Santa)
I sent a letter to you
(Bring my baby)
Every word is true
She's everything I need
(Bring my baby back to me)

You Santa please
(Bring my baby)
Bring my baby back to me
(Bring my baby back, Santa)
Come on Santa
(Bring my baby back to me)

Santa
(Bring my baby)
Bring my baby back to me
(Bring my baby back, Santa)
(Bring my baby back to me)

(Bring my baby)
(Bring my baby back, Santa)
(Bring my baby)
(Bring my baby back to me)

(Bring my baby)
(Bring my baby back, Santa)

Merry Christmas, I Love You (R&B Version) lyrics - Chicago

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas (yeah-yeah)
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas

I hear those jingle bells
On this midnight clear
Hark the herald angels sing
Soon Santa will be here
All I want for Christmas
Is a silent night with you
And a frosty morning snow so we can go
On a sleigh ride just for two

Have a very merry Christmas Day
And a happy new year too
Thank you for the love you give
My greatest gift is you

You make life a holiday
It's like magic when you do
Merry Christmas, I love you

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas

Like an angel shining bright
On top our Christmas tree
You're the star that lights the night
Any wise man can see
While the fire's burning
And we're alone in the dark
I'll give you all of me
With all of my heart

Have a very Merry Christmas Day
And a happy new year too
Thank you for the love you give
My greatest gift is you

You make life a holiday
It's like magic when you do
Merry Christmas, I love you

When I count my blessings
You're the first one on my list
And when I feel a little lonely
You're the only one I miss

You make life a holiday
It's like magic when you do
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
I love you

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
(Merry Christmas, baby)
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
(Yeah, yeah)

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
(Don't wanna live without you)
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
(Baby)

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
I love you
I love you

What The World Needs Now Is Love lyrics - Chicago

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing, life is just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
Not just for some, but for everyone

We don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hilltops
Enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers
Enough to cross
Enough to last until the end of time (Until the end of time)

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing, life is just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some, but for everyone

Lord, we don't need another minute, oh
There are corn fields and wheat fields
Enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams
Enough to shine
Oh, listen, Lord, if you really want to know
If you wanna know

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some, but for everyone
Every every everyone

Love for everyone everyone
Sweet love
Lord we need to know
Lord we need sweet love
Lord for everyone
Love for everyone

Love you brother
Love you sister
Yeah, sweet love

All Is Right lyrics - Chicago

Close your eyes
Make a wish tonight
And search the skies 'cause it's time to fly
I'm comin' home
Where I belong
And that's the greatest gift of all

We'll all be singin' "Silent Night"
With the fire so bright
All is right with the world at Christmas time
You know it's just a state of mind
And I feel so alive
All is right with the world at Christmas time

Gather 'round the tree
All the family
It's so easy to see just what we need

We'll all be singin' "Silent Night"
With the fire so bright
All is right with the world at Christmas time
You know it's just a state of mind
And I feel so alive
All is right with the world at Christmas time

It's you and me we form a family
And I got everything I need

We'll all be singin' "Silent Night"
With the fire so bright
All is right with the world at Christmas time
You know it's just a state of mind
And I feel so alive
All is right with the world at Christmas time

Sleigh Ride 2019 lyrics - Chicago

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling, "Yoo-hoo!"
(Ring a ling a ling a ding dong ding)
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, let's go
Let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're riding along with a song of a wintry wonderland

Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy cozy are we
(Ring a ling a ling a ding dong ding)
We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us and sing a chorus or two
(Ring a ling a ling a ding dong ding)
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending to a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop
Pop! Pop! Pop!

There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives
These wonderful thing are the things we remember through all our lives

So, let's take that road before us and sing a chorus or two
(Ring a ling a ling a ding dong ding)
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together

Lovely weather for a sleigh ride together, ooh, together with you

Lovely weather for a sleigh ride
Come on baby, love weather for a sleigh ride
Oh, yeah

I'd Do It All Again (Christmas Moon) lyrics - Chicago

One day
We flew across the sea
Then took a chance on love
Under a Christmas moon

And I
Would do it all again
I swear
I'd do it all again

Let's have a dance
The season warm and bright
Remember all we loved
And how it all began

Oh my
But it would be a shame
If you never knew
I'd do it all again

Under a Christmas moon

For what it's worth
I never had a doubt
You opened up my heart
Another year gone by

Let's fly
Let's do it all again
You and I
We'll do it all again

We'll fly
The season warm and bright
Under a Christmas moon
Let's do it all again
We'll do it all again

Yeah
Let's do it all again
Under a Christmas moon
The season's warm and bright
Let's do it all again
Again, and again
And again

I'm Your Santa Claus lyrics - Chicago

I'm your Santa Claus
Gonna give you everything you'd wish for
This Christmas
I'm your Santa Claus, baby
Underneath the mistletoe
Kiss me, girl, never let me go

Walkin' in the fallin' snow
Christmas lights are all aglow
Bells will ring, children sing
Celebrate the joy they bring

I'm your Santa Claus
Gonna give you everything you wish for
This Christmas
I'm your Santa Claus
And there ain't nothin' I won't do
I'm gonna make your dreams come true

You're the woman I adore
No one in this world means more
A child is born, a star so bright
A promise made on Christmas night

This gift in silver and gold
This wish about to unfold
My love to have and to hold
Forever

Merry Christmas, I love you

I'm your Santa Claus
I'll give you everything you wish for
This Christmas
I'm your Santa Claus, baby
Underneath the mistletoe
Kiss me, girl, never let me go

Christmas is here
I know every year
You'll be here
In my heart, evermore

Merry Christmas, and I love you
I'm your Santa Claus, baby
Merry Christmas, yes I love you
Gonna party like it's Christmas all-year long
(Gonna party like it's all-year long)
Yeah

I'm your Santa Claus, baby

Merry Christmas, and I love you
I'm your Santa Claus, baby
Merry Christmas, yes I love you
Gonna party like it's Christmas all-year long

Merry Christmas, and I love you
I'm your Santa Claus, baby
Merry Christmas, yes I love you
Gonna party like it's Christmas all-year long

Here We Come A Caroling lyrics - Chicago

Caroling, caroling, caroling, caroling, caroling
Caroling

Here we come a-caroling
Among the leaves so green
Here we come a wand'ring
So fair to be seen

Love and joy come to you
And a merry Christmas too
And God bless you and send you a happy new year
And God send you a happy new year

We are not daily beggars
Who beg from door to door
But we are neighbors' children
Whom you have seen before

Love and joy come to you
And a merry Christmas too
And God bless you and send you a happy new year
And God send you a happy new year

Love and joy come to you
And a merry Christmas too
And God bless you and send you a happy new year
And God send you a happy new year

Caroling, caroling
And a merry Christmas too
Caroling, caroling
And a happy new year
Spread the love and joy

Caroling, caroling
Let's go caroling
Caroling, caroling
Caroling, caroling
Caroling, caroling
Caroling, caroling

A Song For Richard And His Friends lyrics - Chicago

If you will think now, then you will see
How you can change things

People are waiting, turning away
Tired of killing

Hey now
Will you go away
We're so tired
Of things that you say

Even though you never said word that would help anyone but yourself
Tomorrow is such a bad dream
Oh, bad dream

If you stay now
It will only get worse
Let us pray now
'Cause the truth really hurts

Have to be a man so today with your brothers and sisters lay dying
Tomorrow is such a bad dream
Yeah, such a bad dream

Listen
Please be gone
Go away and leave us alone
Bring police
Go away and leave us in peace
Yeah

Please be gone
Go away and leave us alone
Bring police
Go away and leave us in peace
Will you go now
Will you take all your friends
Woah now, if you'd stood like a man
Even though I know that you cannot be blamed all alone for all the sadness you've caused
Tomorrow is such a bad dream
Yeah, such a bad dream
Oh yeah, such a bad dream
Dig it

If you will think now you will then you will see
How we can change things
People are waiting, turning away
Tired of killing

All Roads Lead To You lyrics - Chicago

Headed north on a one way trip
I never thought I'd be back this way
Never thought I'd be missing you
Enough to suffer for the whole night through

Headed south and I didn't look back
I rolled the wind off the beaten track
Tried running from the thought of you
Haunted down by what I know is true

To the north, to the south
It don't matter
Every road leads to you
I'm coming home

All roads lead to you
Wherever I go
Every time I told you
I was just passing through
What my heart didn't know
Was all roads lead to you

Headed east on an Amtrak train
I hit the city in the pouring rain
Never thought I'd be calling you
Every hour from that hotel room

Headed west on a jumbo jet
I rode off into the red sunset
Stood there knocking on the devil's door
Wondering what the hell I'm searching for

To the east to the west
It don't matter
Every road leads to you
I'm coming home

All roads lead to you
Wherever I go
Every time I told you
I was just passing through
What my heart didn't know
Was all roads lead to you

All my life
The winding road I followed
Has led me straight to your arms

All roads lead to you
Gotta get back to you baby!
Wherever I go
Every time I told you
I was just passing through
What my heart didn't know
Was all roads lead to you

I'm coming home to you baby!
All roads lead to you
I'm coming home!
All roads lead to you
Never going away again!
All roads lead to you
All roads lead to you
All roads lead to you
All roads lead to you
Gotta get back to you baby

Closer To You lyrics - Chicago

Have you seen the ladies passing by?
They don't seem to notice
That I'm lonesome and I cry
But soon they'll listen
I can tell you, tell you why
I'm gonna make this record
Gonna go sky high

I just wanna be closer to you-ooh-ooh
I just wanna see if you can be moved, baby, oh
I don't wanna be a fool for you, no

I'm goin' to the city
All the hustlers in the street
And can't you imagine
Just where my head might be
Bright lights are shinning
I can see in front of me at night
Clockwork deception
Won't save us, set us free

I just wanna be closer to you-ooh-ooh
I don't wanna be a fool for you
I just wanna see if you can be moved

I just wanna be closer to you
I'm not supposed to be alone
You know I'm not supposed to be alone
Oh no, oh no

We're coming to this country
Gonna play for all our friends
Yeah, we got positive action
Got energy to last
So go down 'cause we're cookin'
Let the rhythm get you high
And bring all the ladies
Tell them why, why, why

I just wanna be closer to you-ooh-ooh
I don't wanna be a fool for you
I just wanna see if you can be moved
Closer to you

Daddy's Favorite Fool lyrics - Chicago

So young, she never fell in love
Her time has come
Almost everyone holds the key to open up the door
Your time has come
Let me show you how
Let me love you now
Let me lay you down

She's a lady
Who never gets too close
Who never lets it go

She's so sensual to her lovers
When they're playing by her rules
Intellectual to the others
She's as stubborn as a mule
Always sensible with her mother
She's her Daddy's favorite fool
She's so cool

Sometime soon your gonna find
It'll be alright
It's been such a long time waiting to remind you
That your time has come
Let me show you how (Let me show you how)
Let me love you now (Let me love you now)
Let me lay you down

She's a lady
Who never gets too close
Who never lets it go

She's so sensual to her lovers
When they're playing by her rules
Intellectual to the others
She's as stubborn as a mule
Always sensible with her mother
She's her Daddy's favorite fool
She's so cool
She's so sensual to her lovers
When they're playing by her rules
Always sensible with her mother
She's her Daddy's favorite fool
She's so sexual to her lovers
When they're playing by her rules
Intellectual to the others
She's as stubborn as a mule

She's so sensual to her lovers
When they're playing by her rules
Always sensible with her mother
But she's Papa's favorite fool

She's so sensual to her lovers
When they're playing by her rules
Intellectual to the others
She's as stubborn as a mule

Get On This lyrics - Chicago

In the middle of a dream
Thought I saw the sacred Love Supreme
So beautiful, yet so obscene
But I'm not sure I'm sleeping

And in a golden sun
I saw Hitler, Elvis, and angels
A little baby with a big gun
I saw Jesus kissing the Devil

Gonna take some time for me to
Get on this, get on this
Gonna take an angel's kiss to
Get on this, get on this
When I go to sleep tonight
I must remember to close my eyes

Saw a mother, take a needle
Burn in water, drown in flame
A soft spot for a hard habit
She had a baby that had no name

They say a day will come
When a bright light shines all around you
The perfect Disney millennium
Where only happiness will surround you

Gonna take some time for me to
Get on this, get on this
Gonna take an angel's kiss to
Get on this, get on this
When I go to sleep tonight
I must remember to close my eyes

The sins of hypocrisy
Turn the world upside down
Lies in the hearts of children
Destroy their world without a sound

And in a full moon sun
I saw kings turn angels to ashes
Beside a bonfire in Babylon
Stands an empty house full of cages

Gonna take some time for me to
Get on this, get on this
Gonna take an angel's kiss to
Get on this, get on this
When I go to sleep tonight
I must remember to close my eyes

Gonna take some time for me to
Get on this, get on this
Gonna take an angel's kiss to
Get on this, get on this
When I go to sleep tonight
I must remember to close my eyes

Good For Nothing lyrics - Chicago & David Foster

I helped my good friend's brother
Out of trouble when he was in jail
I was rushed 'cause I got lucky
Paid his lawyer and I paid his bail

Glad to be able just to pay the price
The price it took to set him free
I never heard a single "thank you" at all
You'd think by now I could see

All the good that I did was for nothing, aah
All the good that I did was for nothing
Why don't I just let it be?

I fought for two young lovers
New York artists they were on the run
Got them out to California
One was gifted and the other was fun

Merchants will always be merchants, of course
But an artist's is a fragile life
And it's something I have always believed
The memory cuts like a knife

All the good that I did was for nothing, aah
All the good that I did was for nothing, aah
All the good that I did was for nothing
All the good that I did
(All the good that I did)
Why can't I just let it be?

All the good that I did was for nothing, aah
All the good that I did
All the good that I did was for nothing
All the good I did
All the good I did
All the good I did was for nothing

Hearts In Trouble lyrics - Chicago

(from "Days of Thunder" soundtrack)

Nothings gonna change your head, you wouldn't let it
Nothings gonna change your mind
You just wanna let ahead and you can't forget it
Leaving all the best behind

Take a look at yourself in the mirror
You'll find, you'll find

(Hearts in trouble)
It's hard to tell when you're losing touch
You can't find love when you got so much
(Hearts in trouble)
Don't you know that I'll be there for you
Turn around and see what love can do for you

Somethin' gettin' in your way, you can't shake it
It's never gonna let you go
Running from your yesterday, you won't make it
If you never let it go

All the things that you need
You've been leaving behind
Soon your heart's gonna bleed
You've been losing your mind, you can't hide

(Hearts in trouble)
It's hard to tell when you're losing touch
You can't find love when you got so much
(Hearts in trouble)
Don't you know that I'll be there for you
Turn around and see what love can do for you

Never know what you got
Till it's moved down the line
Take a look at yourself in the mirror
You'll find, you'll find

(Hearts in... hearts in trouble)
It's hard to tell when you're losing touch
You can't find love when you got so much
(Hearts in trouble)
Don't you know that I'll be there for you
Turn around and see what love can do

Somethings gonna turn your head, you're gonna get it
Somethings gonna change your mind

Here Is Where We Begin lyrics - Chicago

Most of my life
I was living without you
Something always seemed so incomplete
Through the years
I was thinking about you
Waiting for the moment we would meet

How do you do?
Good to see you!
What are your thoughts?
Did you need to
Had so long 'til the feeling
Something was wrong

(There are no) Here is where we begin
It's all very clear
For this is the end
Of being alone
We've waited so long
We'll make it forever

Nights I would dream
Of the day we made contact
It's come true
Now I'm standing at your door
After a time did you come to forget me?
Here I am
Now I'm standing at your door

How do you do?
Good to see you!
What are your thoughts?
Did you need to
Had so long 'til the feeling
Something was wrong

(There are no) Here is where we begin
It's all very clear
For this is the end
Of being alone
We've waited so long
We'll make it forever
(There are no) Here is where we begin
It's all very clear
For this is the end
Of being alone
We've waited so long
We'll make it forever
(There are no) Here is where we begin
It's all very clear
For this is the end
Of being alone
We've waited so long
We'll make it forever

(There are no) Here (Oh here is where we begin) is where we begin
(It's all so clear) It's all very clear
(This is the end) For this is the end
Of being alone
We've waited so long

Coming to take you away
The magical mystery tour is dying to take you away
Dying to take you away, take you today

More Today Than Yesterday lyrics - Chicago (feat. Les Deux Love Orchestra)

(originally by Spiral Starecase)

I don't remember what day it was
I didn't notice what time it was
All I know is that I fell in love with you
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you

Every day's a new day in love with you
With each day comes a new way of loving you
Every time I kiss your lips my mind starts to wander
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you

Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But, darling, not as much as tomorrow

Tomorrow's date means springtime's just a day away
Cupid, we don't need ya now, be on your way
I thank the Lord for love like ours that grows ever stronger
And I always will be true
I know you feel the same way, too

Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But only half as much as tomorrow

Every day's a new day, every time I love ya
Every way's a new way, every time I love ya
Every day's a new day, every time I kiss ya

Paris lyrics - Chicago

Baby, let's go to England
We'll sail across the sea
Then we'll stay in Amsterdam
Just to feel free
And to Norway where the sun shines endlessly

Maybe we'll go to Paris
We could write a book
And if we just have to stay
We could learn to cook
Drive across the south of France and have a look

And see the Holy Land
I reckon Iran
And lots of sand in [?]
We'll play the night away
We'll go to Pakistan
Afghanistan
And we could stay to better places
[?] to me

Baby, it rains in Hong Kong
It's beautiful to see
Take the count of ferry boats
Rather drink for free
Baby, walk the high and run the hills with me

Baby, let's go to Paris
To Venice, and to Rome
Open up about it, now
The world can be our home
There's no reason why the world can't be our home

Secrets Of The Heart lyrics - Chicago

Now, I can see it in your eyes
It's a truth you can't deny
You're telling me goodbye
I can see it in your eyes

You never said you'd stay forever, girl
Always knew you'd reach for the world
And now, I remember you seemed so restless from the start
I know, there's a loner in you that always feels too tired to be true
You need to live a world apart
Keeping the secrets of your heart

Now, as the sun is sinking down
Don't you leave without a sound
I wish you'd turn around

You never tried to hide your hopes and dreams
Never said you found there with me
Still, I pretend to myself I'd get through you're gone
But I, could've been what you needed with all my love
I still didn't reached you there
Where you live a world apart
Keeping the secrets of your heart

Just when I believe you might be changing
Ready to love me, share my life
I turn to see you walk away

You never said you'd stay forever, girl
Always knew you'd reach for the world
And now, I remember you seemed so distant from the start
I know, there's a loner in you that always felt too tired to be true
You need to live a world apart
Keeping the secrets of your heart
Keeping the secrets of your heart

Show Me A Sign lyrics - Chicago

I wonder what's been on your mind
Baby, I don't know
Something strange is going on
Seems you've been so far away
Got to bring you back, next to me

Is there a thread we can hold on to
Or just a broken seam
Is there a promise for tomorrow
Or just a shattered dream
If only we could see things through

Show me a sign
Show me a sign, girl
You won't turn away
Hold on to the light
Never let go
I'll show you the way

Even in the worst of times
If we got love
Baby, we can work it out
I need to know you'll always be
Here by my side, next to me

I'll be the one that you can lean on
I'd never leave you behind
We've got enough to build a dream on
So baby, say you'll be mine
You need me just like I need you

Show me a sign
Show me a sign, girl
You won't turn away
Hold on to the light
Never let go
I'll show you the way

I believe our love's a miracle
We can find a way
Listen, baby

Show me a sign
You won't turn away

Show me a sign
Show me a sign
You won't turn away
Hold on to the light
Never let go
I'll show you the way

Show me a sign
Show me a sign, girl
Won't turn away
Don't turn away
Hold on to the light
Never let go
I'll show you the way

The Only One lyrics - Chicago

What's been going on
I've been trying to get through to you
Has it really been that long?
I've been thinking about you baby
And the way it used to be
There's so many things I wanna say
But will the words come out all wrong?
After all that's said and done
You're still the only one

You're the only one for me
I'm the only one for you
Baby can't you see, you're still the only one
Each and every night I pray
Hoping there'll come a day
Baby you believe, you're still the only one

Tried to find a way
To get back inside your heart again
If I let you walk away
I'd be dying without you baby
So I just keep holding on
Don't you know that we were meant to be?
But then I knew it all along
After all that we've been through
(We've been through)
You're still the only one
You're the only one for me
I'm the only one for you
Baby can't you see, you're still the only one?
Each and every night I pray
Hoping there will come a day
Baby you believe, you're still the only one

And the fire of our love
Keeps me running back to you
And no matter where you are (where you are)
I will never be that far away
You're the only one for me
I'm the only one for you
Baby can't you see, you're still the only one?
Each and every night I pray
Hoping there will come a day
Baby you believe, you're still the only one

Ain't no need to wonder why
I'll love you 'til the day I die
Baby I believe, you're still the only one

You're the only one
You're the only one
You're the only one for me sweet baby
You're the only one
You're the only one
You're the only one for me sweet darling

Got to find a way

""Now" - Chicago XXXVI" (2014)

Now lyrics - Chicago

If there's something you want to say then say it now
If there's someone you want to love then love them now
You don't want to miss all this
'Cause it would be the biggest mistake of your life to never try

If there's a song you wanna sing then sing it now
If there's a life you want to live then live it now
'Cause it'll be gone, hold on
Don't you let your second chances get away, don't wait

'Cause now
This is the time we must start living in
Let's make a change while it's not too late
Let's make a place where love is happening
The world is going by
There's no greater time than now

If there's someone who needs a hand then give it now
If there's someone you want to teach then show them how
Just show 'em the light inside
The one that show's us how tomorrow's gonna be
Plant a seed

The world is going by
We can make it right
That's the reason why we're here
Open up your heart
Shine from where you are
Come together brother, sister now

More Will Be Revealed lyrics - Chicago

So she asked about tomorrow
As I reached across the bed
"and what about the weekend
Boy, you got to plan ahead"
Then she asked me do I love her
In some forever kind of way
So I put my arms around her
And I whispered
"I know what's true today"
More will be revealed
Every second of each day
My heart is healed
There's a new beat every moment
A new world every minute
I don't know where I'm going
At least at last I'm in it

More will be revealed
If you're gonna love
You've got to learn to feel
I'm trying to be patient
I'm ready for a lesson
I'm waiting for the answer
I'm looking for the question
More will be revealed

So she spoke to me long distance
The connection was too good
And she said "let's talk some business
You could be misunderstood
There are lives and miles between us
And a sacrifice or two"
Pressed my lips to the receiver and I whispered
"Right now I just want you"

There's a time to turn the page
Close the book and walk away
There's a time to learn it
Like a ghost, desire haunts
But the heart wants what it wants
Now's the time to burn it

America lyrics - Chicago

America, America is free
America
America is you and me

The dream is fading before our eyes
Take some time to revive it
"We the people" must start right now
Don't expect our leaders to show us how
They don't have a clue what to do
If they knew how to stop the slide
We'd have seen some signs by now
To turn back the tide

We can't keep havin' you make our rules
When you treat us common folk like fools
It's time we stand up for our rights
Put Congress in our political sights
Make them pass laws that help us all
The founding fathers echo will be heard in the hall
By the people, for the people, everyone equal
'Cause this is

America, America is free
America
Everyone's free
America, America is free
America
America is you and me

Our declaration tell us we're all free and equal
No religion, no color, just people
No one better, no one worse
Everyone comes first

Time to unite as a nation
Go all in with no hesitation
Let's not shy away from what's right
Let's not shy away from the fight
If we work together at a steady pace
We will make the lane we love a better place
A better...

Crazy Happy lryics - Chicago

Asked my heart
If I'd ever want to fall again
Knowing it was shaky from the start
Big mistake
Learned something new about myself
And wondered how long this goodbye would take

There we were just wanting to be friends
Helplessly hopelessly falling
What people say and every sweet cliche'
All true at that moment
When you surrender to it
It happened to be

Crazy
How did I find you
Crazy, crazy happy baby
Crazy
I think it's crazy
I'm so glad that crazy happened to me

On my own
Never quite the way it's supposed to be
Surrounded in a crowded room alone
Now I know
All that I was ever praying for
Appeared except my eyes refused to see

And I never worry 'bout the way things might have been
'Cause the gods decide just how it's gonna be
When you least expect it
"This is it" they said "it's time to believe"

Free At Last lyrics - Chicago

The fulfilment of a dream I always had
I tried to make the party last all night
Working like a dog, looking for a fight
I was like a prisoner with some empty hear blues

Yeah, but now I'm
Free at last, free at last
Free at last, free at last

I was living on a highway half way on the way to hell
I was spilling more than drinking, it was sad
I saw a woman with her eyes so deep
She spoke a prayer for me I'll always keep
A graceful life is just a matter of the path you choose

Yeah, but now I'm
Free at last, free at last
Free at last, free at last

Here's to this moment
Here's to this night
Here's to this fantasy
Here's to this life
Here's to the future
Here's to the past

Free at last, free at last
Free at last, free at last

Love Lives On lyrics - Chicago

What was I to you?
Maybe to show you,
How truly beautiful you are.
Even though you've heard it forever,
From the right one it's kind of like the weather.
It becomes the truth.

And what were you to me?
That is the question that will,
Truly take forever to explain.
Just know that what we have in time will travel,
Things like this, they never quite unravel.
They weave into our dreams.

Love lives on,
With or without people in it
The path it follows has no limit.
Everything we do,
Goes beyond
And even what we leave behind us,
Someday will come back to find us.
I'm telling you that we're that strong.
What we had is never gone
Love lives on.

What were we to us?
Something I know that will never,
Happen in this world again.
We were more than just each other's,
Cheap attraction.
So don't you ever think
That you were some distraction
'Cause time will bear to prove

Love lives on,
With or without people in it
The path it follows has no limit.
Everything we do,
Goes beyond
And even what we leave behind us,
Someday will come back to find us.
I'm telling you that we're that strong.
What we had is never gone
Love lives on.

So go on now,
And know that this is not the end
Just one more story we'll begin.
I'll be out
When you look up at the stars at night
Just feel me in their faintest light
'Cause they'll know where I am,
Always.

Love lives on,
With or without people in it
The path it follows has no limit.
Everything we do,
Goes beyond
And even what we leave behind us,
Someday will come back to find us.
I'm telling you that we're that strong.
What we had is never gone
Love lives on. [x7]

Something's Coming, I Know lyrics - Chicago

You worn it out and man, it just don't fit you no more.
And don't you try to deceive me
You know that you can believe me
If you're man enough you're gonna hear the bitter truth
So, won't you come on?

Something's coming, I know
Something's coming, it shows
Something's coming, I know

You disappointing everyone just messin' around now
It's clear enough, you know, we're all running clean out of time
Don't want ever grieve you
Have bunch of us bereave you
And if you're man enough you're gonna hear the bitter truth
So, won't you come on?

Something's coming, I know
Something's coming, it shows
Something's coming, I know, believe me now
Something's rounding the bend
Something always comes in the end
Something's coming, I know,

And when your children ask about your life
And all the memories you might make tonight
You forsake tonight
Nothing last forever

Watching All The Colors lyrics - Chicago

How do people find their love?
Love as it was meant to be
We wonder is it fate or gods above?
A crowd of people stand and stare
Oblivious, we come together

The whiplash of this city street
A million people happen by
Graffiti swirling pretty, swirling sweet
Now our world is not the same
But I remember every moment
Ever, ever

Long ago and faraway
Eyes so deep, we kiss goodnight
The subway trains, violao gago
A christmas moon in black and white
The sting of tears, a scarlet sky
I'm watching all the colors in my head

Sitting in the dark we see
Images to stun, to cry
The fury of the sound, a samba beat
How do we embrace the past?
I will remember every moment
Ever, ever

Nice Girl lyrics - Chicago

I love her madly
Need her badly
Don't you see
But I keep her guessing
Keep on pushing boundaries

She's so dramatic
Seems to panic
Ultimately
I want to show her
No need to go there
Honestly

She's a nice girl
No doubt about it
She shows me every day
She's a nice girl
Oh figure it out
Before she walks away

Maybe it's me
Who makes this
Harder than it needs to be
I don't like confrontation
Nothin' that makes me see
(The truth)

I like the path
Of least resistance
But it don't like me
I need to take a good look
At who's in the mirror
Staring back at me

Nice girl
Oh you better figure it out, boy
Nice girl
Nice girl
Don't you let her get away
Nice girl

Naked In The Garden Of Allah lyrics - Chicago

We are naked
We are innocent
We are deadly
We are broken
We are ignorant
We are lost

We are children
We are discontent
We are fatal
We are broken
We are impotent
We are lost

This televised democracy (we seek protection)
Such adolescent fantasy (we seek refuge)
Random access to content
I think we're naked in the garden of allah

We are artless
We are violent
We are poison
We are broken

Pie in the sky and gingerbread (we seek protection)
We never meant to get in bed (we seek refuge)
With wannabe intelligentsia
I think we're naked in the garden of allah

Just remember,
I'll remember

Another Trippy Day lyrics - Chicago

The city wakes
A slow crescendo
And the floor beneath me shakes
A downtown 'A' train passing
So in my dream
The subway rumble
Drives a cinematic scene
Open my eyes
The silent thunder
Of a room I recognize
A hint of distant jazzing
Lovers embrace
Just barely morning
I turn and see her face

Think I'm headed for a trippy day
Got a groove on' and I want to say:
"come on, come on
I want to dance tonight"

Think I'm headed for a trippy day
Everybody gonna find a way
Come on, come on
I want to play tonight
It's on the street
The tunes are right there
You can't deny the beat
The drum loop got me jumpin'
Like neon glow
The urban buzzing
Still, you are all I know

Life is feeling like some dreamy fantasy
Ambient and intimate, a prophesy
I never knew such sweet times
I may be just lucky fool

Rockin Around The Christmas Tree lyrics - Chicago

Rocking around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
Rocking around the Christmas tree,
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling.

You will get a sentimental
Feeling when you hear
Voices singing let's be jolly,
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rocking around the Christmas tree,
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily
In the new old-fashioned way.

I Saw Three Ships lyrics - Chicago (feat. America)

I saw three ships come sailing by
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day.
I saw three ships come sailing by
On Christmas Day in the morning.

And what was in those ships all three
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day?
And what was in those ships all three
On Christmas Day in the morning?

The Virgin Mary and Christ were there
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day.
The virgin Mary and Christ were there
On Christmas Day in the morning.

What Are You Doing New Year's Eve? lyrics - Chicago

Maybe it's much too early in the game
Ooh, but I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's eve?

Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year
New Year's eve

Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of the thousand invitations
You received

Ooh, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance:
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's Eve?

Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of the thousand invitations
You received

Ooh, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance:
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's Eve?

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year lyrics - Chicago

It's the most wonderful time of the year.
With the kids jingle belling,
And everyone telling you,
"Be of good cheer,"
It's the most wonderful time of the year.

There'll be parties for hosting,
Marshmallows for toasting and
Caroling out in the snow.
There'll be scary ghost stories and
Tales of the glories of Christmases
Long, long ago.

It's the most wonderful time of the year.
There'll be much mistletoeing
And hearts will be glowing,
When loved ones are near.
It's the most wonderful time of the year.

I'll Be Home For Christmas lyrics - Chicago

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

On The Last Night Of The Year lyrics - Chicago

(On the last night of the year)

The crowd of strangers storm the Square
The countdown and the cheers
They’ll freeze their a$$es off out there
But me I’ll stay right here
They’ll lift a glass to all that’s passed
And all that’s supposed to be
I’ll toss the Christmas cards and burn
The dried up Christmas tree
On the last night of the year
On the last night of the year

I’ll make some resolutions now
Like shiny souvenirs
They’ll wind up crumpled on the ground
With confetti and the beer
Beneath the quilt I pray my guilt
Will melt into the night
My weary eyes will search for signs
That I can make it right
On the last night of the year
On the last night of the year

I’ll stir the coals and fan the flame
At Christmas time each year
They’ll lift a wish and dim the rain
Hope no one can hear
I'll shake my head and climb in bed
Before the ball comes down
That fine champagne right down the drain
Auld the quaint will just be drowned
On the last night of the year
On the last night of the year

Merry Christmas Darling lyrics - Chicago (feat. Bebe Winans)

Greeting cards have all been sent
The Christmas rush is through
But I still have one more wish to make
A special one for you

Merry Christmas Darling
We're apart that's true
But I can dream and in my dreams,
I'm Christmas-ing with you.

Holidays are joyful
There's always something new
But every day's a holiday
When I'm near to you

The lights on my tree
I wish you could see
I wish it every day
The logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say

That I wish you a merry Christmas
Happy New Year, too
I've just one wish
On this Christmas Eve
I wish I were with you
I wish I were with you

Rockin And Rollin On Christmas Day lyrics - Chicago (feat. Steve Cropper)

He was peekin’ through the window
We invited him on in
We gave him a drink and he said with a wink
“I needed that, my friend”
He said it’s time to take a break
So let the good times begin
Cause there is music
And party till the end
Everybody was rockin’ and rollin’ on Christmas Day

Way too soon he said he had to leave
Had a long long way to go
The said
Well I’m flying tonight
The forecast is heavy snow
And I swear I saw that red-nosed reindeer
He looked me right between the eyes
So he snapped the reins and heard in a flash
And disappeared in the sky
Everybody was rockin’ and rollin’ on Christmas Day

Even Santa’s reindeer was dancing on a boundless sleigh
When I see the jingle bells
They jingle all the way
Everybody was rockin’ and rollin’ on Christmas Day

Some people say that you don’t believe me
But I as seen in you
I met the man and shook his hand
And every word I say is true

Everybody was rockin’ and rollin’ on Christmas Day

Even Santa’s reindeer was dancing on a boundless sleigh
When you see the jingle bells
I said jingle all the way
Everybody was rockin’ and rollin’ on Christmas Day
Everybody was rockin’ and rollin’ on Christmas Day
Everybody was rockin’ and rollin’
Just can’t seem to control it
Everybody was rockin’ and rollin’ on Christmas Day

My Favorite Things lyrics - Chicago

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleighbells
And schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winter that melts into spring
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel...so bad

O Christmas Tree lyrics - Chicago

O Christmas Tree,
O Christmas Tree,
How steadfast are
Your branches!
Your boughs are green
In summer's clime
And through the snows
Of wintertime.
O Christmas Tree,
O Christmas Tree,
How steadfast are
Your branches!

O Christmas Tree,
O Christmas Tree,
What happiness befalls me
When oft at
Joyous Christmas-time
Your form inspires
My song and rhyme.
O Christmas Tree,
O Christmas Tree,
What happiness befalls me

O Christmas Tree,
O Christmas Tree,
Your boughs can
Teach a lesson
That constant faith
And hope sublime
Lend strength and
Comfort through all time.
O Christmas Tree,
O Christmas Tree,
Your boughs can
Teach a lesson

Jingle Bells lyrics - Chicago

Dashing through the snow
On a one-horse open sleigh,
Over the fields we go,
Laughing all the way;
Bells on bob-tail ring,
Making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

A day or two ago,
I thought I'd take a ride,
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank;
Misfortune seemed his lot;
He got into a drifted bank,
And we, we got upsot.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle all the way!
What fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

A day or two ago,
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh,
He laughed as there
I sprawling lie,
But quickly drove away.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle all the way!
What fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

Now the ground is white
Go it while you're young,
Take the girls tonight
And sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bob-tailed bay
Two-forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! you'll take the lead.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle all the way!
What fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

Here Comes Santa Claus lyrics - Chicago

Here comes Santa Claus!
Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Are pulling on the reins.
Bells are ringing, children singing;
All is merry and bright.
Hang your stockings and say your prayers,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

Here comes Santa Claus!
Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
He's got a bag that is filled with toys
For the boys and girls again.
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,
What a beautiful sight.
Jump in bed, cover up your head,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Joy To The World lyrics - Chicago

Joy to the world! The Lord is come.
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart
Prepare Him room
And Saints and angels sing
And Saints and angels sing
And Saints and Saints and angels sing

Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns
Let Saints their songs employ
While fields and floods
Rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, Repeat, the sounding joy

Joy to the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders and wonders of His love

No more will sin and sorrow grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He'll come and make the blessings flow
Far as the curse was found,
Far as the curse was found,
Far as, far as the curse was found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And gives to nations proof
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love;
And wonders of His love;
And wonders, wonders of His love.

Rejoice! Rejoice in the Most High,
While Israel spreads abroad
Like stars that glitter in the sky,
And ever worship God,
And ever worship God,
And ever, and ever worship God.

"Chicago XXXII: Stone Of Sisyphus"

Stone Of Sisyphus lyrics - Chicago

Tomorrow is teasing me.
Time seems to run away from the future.
But this could be that lucky day.

A dream is make believe until
Blood, sweat, and tears turn pain to will.
It's gonna take some doing for me
To show them the way.

I'm gonna take the stone of sisyphus
I'm gonna roll it back to you.
Building a wall of stone.

Sometimes you know what's right
Sometimes wrong is better than nothing.
They cast a stone so heavy to turn.

I believe in a love so true.
I believe you get what's coming to you.
We get so tired of living a dream
For some other day.

I'm gonna take the stone of sisyphus
I'm gonna roll it back to you.
Wall of stone around the two of us.
That only angels can break through.

Looks like it's another of those long nights.
Will we always be alone?
Let's not stop before it's done.

I'm gonna take the stone of sisyphus
I'm gonna roll it back to you.
I'll take the stone of sisyphus.
Wall of stone round the two of us.
I'm gonna roll it back to you.

Bigger Than Elvis lyrics - Chicago

Come, let's talk just you & me
For once just let me be.
The little boy you used to know.
Relive that summer's bliss.
Cause they came no more like this.
Those were the days,
The days when love was still in style.

All I ever dreamed I'd be
Is what you are to me.
Bigger than Elvis.
And for all the missing years,
A memory reappears.
Bigger than Elvis.

I saw you on tv.
The king, you were to me.
Could you feel me watching you?
At times my heart got mad,
Only heros are allowed
To run free, that they could come back inside of me.

All I ever dreamed I'd be,
Is what you are to me.
Bigger than Elvis.
And for all the missing years,
A memory reappears.
Bigger than Elvis.

We know the sadness of goodbyes
Must be the one that's bringing tears to your child's eyes.

Oh, from now on I'll walk with you
Making music like you do.
Would you believe I always knew?

You were never hard to take
In some mysterious way
Bigger than Elvis
And for all the missing years
Your memory reappears
Bigger than Elvis.

Now I've found the missing years,
Forgotten all my tears.
I've found the missing years.

All The Years lyrics - Chicago

You ask me what I think,
I tell you you ignore it.
The reasons for it make me crazy.
You ask me what is right,
Huh, you never hear it.
You're never nowhere near it baby.
I spent my life believing,
It would not end this way.

All the years we wasted
All the years we tried
All the restless hours
All the times we cried.

You ask me what I want,
I got no answer.
I know I'm only dancing faster.
So now we're stuck with us,
With you and all your stories.
Who's the fool and who'd the liar.
I spent my life believing
It would not end this way.

All the years we wasted
All the years we tried.
All the restless hours.
All the times we cried.
All the years we gambled.
All the years you lied.
All the hopeless dreamers.
All the dreams that died.

Mah-Jong lyrics - Chicago

A third floor walk-up...
One block east of chinatown.
She walked by my window,
While the rain is pouring down.
Looking in she sees the easy money life everywhere
And it's clear she don't approve.
(and it's clear she don't approve)
Through a cloud of smoke I shoot a little smile over there.
And I...

She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play.
She don't mah jong, wait she don't let me wait.
She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play.
But she loves to play...

With the dark eyes burning,
I am opening the wall.
Can there be no other chance?
I feel my fortune's turning,
And I wish for nothing else at all.
Looking up I see her signal with her fingers through her hair
Telling me the hands are clean.
On the... I turn a dragon tail into a pair.
And the game is over.

She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play.
She don't mah jong, wait she don't let me wait.
She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play.
Though I don't obey her,
Still she loves to play her

She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play.
She don't mah jong, wait she don't let me wait.
She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play.
But she loves to play...

A tree blows up
From where the lanterns light the parlors on the street
.... waiting at the .....
And though there are not many things a pawn would ....
I'll beat.
We enjoyed the difference.

She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play.
She don't mah jong, wait she don't let me wait.
She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play.
But she loves to play...

Sleeping In The Middle Of The Bed lyrics - Chicago

Caught in a love storm
Howlin' like a newborn
Trying hard to stay warm
My cover-up is torn up and tattered

Addiction to Apocalypse
Looking for the big hit
Tending to take trips
The ship of love is beat up and battered

Time after time I blow me away
Sign on the streets now
Brother let me pray now
Winter's here, I believe it's here to stay

I read somewhere that religion is for people
Who want to stay out of hell
I was praying for a sign or a vision or a message
Till you been there, you won't get well

I was sitting in a room I'd never recognize it
With a picture before my eyes
I've been sleeping in the middle of the bed again
I'm not sure this qualifies

Lost in a crosswalk
Battle only half fought
Crawling 'cause I can't talk
Childhood finally caught up with me

Flashing like a neon
Noisy as an A-bomb
Looking to the beyond
Staring into the half-life of eternity

Time after time I blow me away
Time on the street now
Brother let me pray now
Winter's here I believe it's here to stay

I read somewhere that religion is for people
Who want to stay out of hell
I was praying for a sign or a vision or a message
Till you been there, you won't get well

I was sitting in a room I'd never recognize it
With a picture before my eyes
I've been sleeping in the middle of the bed again
I'm not sure this qualifies

I read somewhere that religion is for people
Who swear they need to be saved
I've been sleeping in the middle of the bed again
You can trust me I will be brave

New York, New York, The Big Apple
New York, New York
New York, New York
16 million feet stepping on each other
New York is a state of mind

Time after time I blow me away
Time on the street now
Brother let me pray now
Winter's here I believe it's here to stay

I read somewhere that religion is for people
Who want to stay out of hell
I was praying for a sign or a vision or a message
Till you been there, you won't get well

I was sitting in a room I'd never recognize it
With a picture before my eyes
I've been sleeping in the middle of the bed again
I'm not sure this qualifies

I read somewhere that religion is for people
Who swear they need to be saved
I've been sleeping in the middle of the bed again
You can trust me I will be brave

I read somewhere that religion is for people
Who swear they need to be saved
I've been sleeping in the middle of the bed again
You can trust me I will be brave

Let's Take A Lifetime lyrics - Chicago

Say no more,
If you want to kiss goodnight,
That's alright by me.
Close your door,
Make sure the latch is tight,
Fall gently to sleep.

We don't have to rush ahead,
Putting questions in your head,
And an ache in your heart,

Let's take a lifetime,
All that we desire,
Build it day by day into forever.
Let's take a lifetime,
All that you require,
Here and now and ever.

In these times,
Love is not some harmless game,
It's played strictly for keeps.
No, it's no crime,
Wanting me to feel the same,
With the water so deep.
Come tomorrow once again,
We'll be together until then,
We've dreaming to do.

Let's take a lifetime,
All that you desire.
Build it day by day into forever
Let's take a lifetime,
All that you require.
Here and now and lasting ever more.

So hard to leave you standing there in the light,
You look so lovely.
If we must...
No use tempting fate.

Let's take a lifetime,
All that we desire,
Build it day by day into forever.
Let's take a lifetime,
All that you require,
Here and now and ever.

The Pull lyrics - Chicago

Summertime came too soon,
Summers in kansas often do.
And the air was still,
I felt the pull.
I recall the heat rising from the ground in a way.
And I knew I was the first to pass this way.

I believe I step across some line,
Or I stumble through the doorway in space and time,
Like a drunk who blacks out from the wine,
Never remembers his name.

Always feel so alone,
Wherever I am I feel the pull,
And the life I've left behind the pull.
And in case I have no future, I've got the past
There's no telling just how long this play will last.

I believe I step across some line,
Or I stumble through the doorway in space and time,
Like a drunk who blacks out from the wine,
Never remembers his name,
Never remembers.

I'm down, walking through a storm.
I hear a voice inside, crying,
It calls my name like a judge accusing,
Black robe hanging down, whoah,
Don't forget be brave about your love.

Well I walk across the murky room,
And there's flashes in my eyes,
I don't know what I'm doin'.
Like a drunk who blacks out from the wine,
Never remembers his name.
Like a drunk who blacks out from the wine,
Never remembers his name,
Never remembers his name,
I never remember my name.

Here With Me (A Candle For The Dark) lyrics - Chicago

We rode the train,
From paris to the cold atlantic shore.
The winter rain
Kept us in each others arms until the dawn,
Do you remember?
Faster than the sun,
Flying higher than everyone.
Like a dream too good to last,
I won't regret the past.

Here with me,
Deep down in my soul now and forever.
A candle for the dark, I need you
Here with me,
A story with an unexpected end.

The morning plane,
Through empty doors a mountain in the sky.
Golden chain, the autumn treetops cast
Another light.
Do you remember?
We have no common ground,
Treasure lost will not be found.
We can blame our wild at heart,
From now until the start.

Here with me,
Deep down in my soul now and forever,
A candle for the dark I need you,
Here with me,
A story with an unexpected end.

Remember feelings I have known,
And chasing dreams I've never done,
We're losing let us walk away,
Hold me in your arms before you go.

Here with me,
Deep down in my soul now and forever.
A candle for the dark, I need you
Here with me,
A story with an unexpected end.

Everywhere I go you're here with me.

Plaid lyrics - Chicago

Some will say it's too late,
So don't change the story.
There's too much at stake to grow.
Yesterday was so great,
Just bask in the glory.
Don't let your feelings show.

And I say,
"oh yeah" like a man with condition
I wait for my heart to stop.
Stay down,
Got a plan hold that position.
You can't afford a flop.

[Chorus:]
Pack my suitcase
With my game face,
Take the same place,
And put away the dreams I had.
Let my hair grow,
Find some old clothes,
Let the world know
That my glory days were plaid.

I'm not asking for permission,
Are you ready for me to be me.
Just pass the ammunition,
This prisoner's about to bust free from chains.

For so long you told me to keep it familiar,
Just play what they all would find,
I can wear this blindfold, stick to your story,
But I gotta ask myself why.
And I play,.., goes on
For so many seasons,
Til I'm sure I'm losing my mind.
And I say, oh no,
Gotta have a much better reason
To leave all my dreams behind.

Strangers,
Rearrange us,
Stay the same fate,
And become your favorite fad.
With the see-through,
I gotta be true,
I can't be you.
While yes still comes in plaid.

I'm not asking for permission
Are you ready for me to be me.
Lord, pass some ammunition,
This prisoner's about to bust free from your chains.
I'm more than just excited,
Like a hundred pounds of monkey on my back.
Now everybody's divided,
We're riding this train til we run clear out of track.
Clean of track.

[Chorus]

Cry For The Lost lyrics - Chicago

Something I forgot that I used to know
Keeps on coming back around.
Somewhere in the dark right before the dawn
Like a light from down the hall.
Suddenly some old familiar music
Songs I know I've never heard before.
I gotta play along I can't refuse it
I hear the call.

We've all been so proud of our blindness
No kindness to share
I used to cry for the lost
Until I had to turn away.
Then I looked inside, past the fool,
And found some deeper words to say
To bring us together.
We can make it better
We can make it right.

We hide behind the veil of our own success,
While we're following the rules.
Our eyes refuse to see past our little hands
To the never changing truth.
Freedom needs to speak a little louder,
Justice needs to try her other arm.
Some of us could push a little harder
To sound the alarm.
And I see children marching
And I hear the drums again

I used to cry for the lost
Until I had to turn away.
Then I looked inside, past the fool,
And found some deeper words to say.
If we hope and pray,
It will come, give it half a chance.
Everyone, understand
In our hearts and our mind,
You know there's nothing left to hide,
We're already there.

I used to cry.
Cry for the lost I was walking away.
I used to try to find a reason.
Then I looked inside,
I used to mind everytime I was walking away,
I gotta find what I'm feeling
To bring us together.

The Show Must Go On lyrics - Chicago

I've been trapped in the madness,
From the shadows of sadness
I laugh it away.
I've been blind to the passion
While the whole world is flashing
I stash it away.
While I'm singing of Freedom,
I'm trying to sell
What I never had.
Hoping I'll be released from my own kind of hell
Cause I lost the key to my past.

The show must go on.
It seems like there's something I'm leaving behind.
The show must go on.
Cause the dreams that I'm having,
I'm having all the time.
The show must go on.

There will be no confessions,
Cause I'd only be guessing just where to begin.
There's only one thing I'm knowing
This feeling ain't blowing
Away with the wind.
And I'm tired of turning my back on myself
Throwing truth away.
Let the fire burn down the front door to myself
And give me a season of play.

The show must go on,
I just keep pretending to live for the game.
The show must go on.
I just keep on bending the rules to fit the pain.
It's time for collecting
What I've been neglecting.
It's gonna be a little strange.
Cause one day I'll be gone,
And I'll be back in time(town?).
Nothing's gonna, nothing's gonna
Be the same.

The show must go on,
And I just keep pretending to live for your game,
The show must go on,
I just keep on bending the rules to fit the pain.
Put on the face,
Win every race,
I'm just so strong can't you see,
And I keep up the pace,
I won't leave a trace.
Of ....
Still going on, still going on.

The show must go on,
The show must go on.
[fade out]

Love Is Forever lyrics - Chicago

What, what can I do?
What will it take
To get you back again?
You say it's over between us

And why do you deny
Our love is true?
I know you feel the heat
The fire is burning inside us

We had a storybook affair
Once in a lifetime
Come back
Baby I need your love
Inside my life again

Love is Forever
I believe in my heart
We can fall in love again
Our charade is over...
We belong together

Now, maybe it's time
Time to forget
The pain of love gone bad
Bury the heartache behind us

And I know
If we could try all over again
I promise I'll be there
Ready to hold you up
As broken hearts grow stronger.

We've got the world by a string
We've got a lifetime
Hold on
Baby just hold me tight
And never let me go

Love is Forever
I believe if we try
We can make our dreams come true
Our charade is over
And I need you now
More than words can say....

Love is Forever
I believe in my heart
We can fall in love again
Our charade is over....
We belong together

Love is Forever
I believe if we try
We can make our dreams come true
Our charade is over
And I need you now
More than words can say
Love is Forever....

"Chicago XXX" (2006)

Feel lyrics - Chicago

So everybody's pulling you in all directions
You don't know how much longer to take it
So you've learned how to fake it

That smile on the outside's fading fast
Like the things that you thought for sure would last
But they didn't
You know something's missing
Is it your life you're not living?

[Chorus:]
Your heart is cold, your soul is numb
You don't like who you've become
You played the game and paid the cost for long enough
So grab the reins, yeah, take the wheel
Lose what's not and keep what's real
It's not too late,
Just close your eyes and feel, feel

You can't tell if you're happy or sad
Can't tell the good from bad
It's senseless
To waste your senses
Maybe stop thinking with your head
Start using your heart instead
Just try it
You just might like it
Aren't you dying to start livin'?

[Chorus]

Every breath that's going thru you
Take each day that's given to you
To love back the ones who love you

[Chorus]

You can't tell if you're happy or sad
Can't tell the good from the bad
Feel and stop thinking with your head
Start using your heart instead

Your heart is cold, your soul is numb
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
You've played the game for long enough, oh, no, no,
Everybody's pulling you in all directions.

King Of Might Have Been lyrics - Chicago

What have I done?
And why do people run away
From what they really want?
She... she was the one
I know it now, just like a blind man
Feels the setting sun.

Once Upon A Time
I had everything I ever wanted
Everything I'd need
The more she tried to give me
The more I took for granted
Her majesty, and I can't believe...

[Chorus:]
Oh, it's really over now
And I've got to live without
The love I'll never have again

If this is what losing means
Well, then I've lost everything
Now I'm the... King of Might Have Been.

I'm all alone
With a hundred percent of nothing now
Just a Fool upon his throne,
She's... she's moving on
She's gonna be somebody's everything
And I hope that he knows...

That all she ever needed
Was the chance to be completed
And to feel the light of love,
What should've been, what could've been,
Doesn't matter now
She's history
And I can't believe...

[Chorus]

If I could do it all again
I would never let it end
I'd fight for us
If I just had one more chance

[Chorus]

Caroline lyrics - Chicago

Caroline... Caroline

There's always people talkin'
It makes their world go round
Don't mean you have to listen
Don't let them get you down

[Chorus:]
Oh Caroline, Caroline
Everything will be just fine
Caroline, Caroline
You can work it out this time!

You know they're only jealous
They want what they can't have
(and they never will).
Don't let it get your crazy
'Cause life is just too short for that
(and that, and that, and that).

And you know it ain't easy
But girl, you gotta let it go.

[Chorus]

You can work it out this time
You will find out about it just in time
Caroline
Make your sun come out and let it shine
Everything will be just fine, Caroline

[Chorus]

You will find out about it just in time
Make your sun come out and let it shine!

Why Can't We lyrics - Chicago

[Bill sings:]
Where did you go?
What happened to the life we had?
It took an unexpected turn
And even though we tried so hard
We only got so far
Oh, what did we learn?

[Shelly sings:]
Another day
Another night without you here
And nothing ever seems to change
And I know I can't escape
Because I always see your face
Every time I close my eyes

[Chorus:]
[Bill and Shelly sing:]
If the sun can rise above us
Every single morning
If the moon can turn the tide
Of every sea
People falling in and out of love
Without a warning
They get a second chance
Then Why Can't We?

[Bill, Shelly:]
If there's a way
To let me in your world again
And put the pieces back in place
If we take it one day at a time
Who knows what we may find
Our love never went away
And we can get stronger every day!

[Chorus]

Aren't we tired of savin' all the same old faces
And pretending that we're better off alone
And maybe deep inside we both know that our place is
Here all along... here all along

People falling in and out of love without a warning
They get a second chance, then why can't we?
Let's take a second chance, and then we'll see
