You were looking for an answer; you were out the door. I didn't know what you were after. I knew you had to take a chance, girl. Did you forget about the laughter? Say oh, oh no. CHORUS: Oo, what you're missing could have been yours from the start. You won't listen when it's coming from the heart. Now you're missing me. You'll find that out when we're apart. Had some crazy conversations. You know they seemed so right. Remember how it used to keep us up all night? I didn't know what you were after. Maybe there never was an answer. Did you forget about the laughter? Say oh, oh no. CHORUS @SONG: Waiting for you to decide (David Foster, David Paich, Steve Lukather) Used to think that you'd do anything for me. I thought your heart was pounding at my door. Now it seems that things aren't right. You've been crying ev'ry night. You're rainy season just ain't slowing down. I still love you even though there's things you can't explain. I don't want to know if you've been lying all along. You've been running away. Now you've run out of places to hide. I can no longer stand here waiting for you to decide if there's a heart still left inside. There's someone watching tonight. You've been trying for some time to get away from me. It's just the same old game you've tried before. We've talked it out a thousand time. It's still the same old useless lines. You've made your point now why can't I make mine? I still love you even though there's things you can't explain. I don't want to know if you've been lying all this time. You've been running away. Now you've run out of places to hide. I can no longer stand here waiting for you to decide if there's a heart still left inside. You can't get away. There's someone watching tonight. @SONG: Bad Advice (James Pankow and David Foster) She said, "Tell me what it's all about." I said "Why, why, why? It's just something you could do without. You better try, try try." She said, "I can't reach you on the telephone. I can't call you when you're not at home. You keep saying that you're all alone. That's a lie, lie, lie." CHORUS: Bad advice had me down and undone. Got to try again to believe in myself. Look at me, I'm alone in the end. Can you see me falling, falling down. I said, "Mama can you get it straight?" She said "Why, why, why?" -"I wanna tell you that it just can't wait, so let's try, try, try" She said, "I don't care where you might have gone. I don't care 'cause you've done me wrong. You been doin' it far too long, So goodbye, bye, bye." CHORUS She said "Tell me what it's all about." I said, "Why, why, why? It's just something you can do without. You better try, try, try." -"I can't reach you on the telephone. I can't call you when you're not at home. You keep saying that you're all alone. That's a lie, lie, lie @SONG: Chains (Ian Thomas) I don't want any trouble. I don't want to make any waves. I don't want any conscience. And I don't wanna be brave. I've kept my distance. My feelings have never been shown. I know that I've been walking fences, Denied what I have known. I carry chains. (I carry chains.) Heavy, heavy chains. (Chains that are made.) I carry chains (I carry chains) 'round my feet. I feel the weight (I feel the weight.) Chains are the different things that should not be hanging on me. I put my conscience under a stone, the stone under the ground. Walked from where I had left it. I hoped it couldn't be found. My conscience persisted. It's a haunted seed I have sown. Calls me out from the distance And it just won't leave me alone. I carry chains. (I carry chains.) Chains that are made. (Chains that are made.) I carry heavy chains. (I carry chains.) Talk about the weight. (I feel the weight.) Chains are the temporary things that should not be hanging on me. @SONG: Hard To Say I'm Sorry (Peter Cetera and David Foster) "Everybody needs a little time away," I heard her say, "from each other." "Even lover's need a holiday far away from each other." Hold me now. It's hard for me to say I'm sorry. I just want you to stay. After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to. And after all that's been said and done, You're just the part of me I can't let go. Couldn't stand to be kept away just for the day from your body. Wouldn't wanna be swept away, far away from the one that I love. Hold me now. It's hard for me to say I'm sorry. I just want you to know. Hold me now. I really want to tell you I'm sorry. I could never let you go. After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to. And after all that's been said and done, You're just the part of me I can't let go. After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to. You're gonna be the lucky one. @SONG: Get Away (Peter Cetera, David Foster, Robert Lamm) When we get there gonna jump in the air. No one'll see us 'cause there's nobody there. After all, you know we really don't care. Hold on. I'm gonna take you there. @SONG: Follow Me (James Pankow and David Foster) One shoe on; one shoe off. Nothin' in life is decideable; wouldn't you know. Nothing's supposed to be easy. Take one day at a time. Ain't no need to hurry. Realize where you are, and where you're going to. CHORUS: Follow me, ain't no need to go on all by yourself. Follow me; don't need nobody else. Follow me; and together we'll build a better life. Follow me. One more time; toe the line; Nothing in life is impossible. Both of us know Life is as good as we make it. Dark reflections of the past Drown in our tomorrows. Time to laugh; time to love; Time to live again. CHORUS Time to laugh; time to live again. @SONG: What Can I Say (James Pankow and David Foster) Lonely nights; empty days, use me up so many ways. You came along and stole my heart away. I just wanna hold you darlin', tonight, knowin' that the love between us is right. I can't believe that you'd ever let me go; oh, no. CHORUS: What can I say? What can I do? I'm so in love with you. Got to be strong; but, for how long must I have this feeling? Won't go away. Take me back to yesterday, I just wanna fade away Closer to you that what we used to be. Are we really gonna let it die? Close the book and give it one more try. I can't believe that you'd ever let me go; oh, no. CHORUS @SONG: Rescue You (Peter Cetera and David Foster) After he hurt you, you said you were leaving; you got up to walk out the door. The story he's telling you, you weren't believin'; you've certainly heard it before. And I can't stand it, you're feeling so sad. I can't take it, it's makin' me mad Say the word and I will rescue you. (Say the word, say the word) Say the word and I will come to rescue you. I could be wrong, but unless I'm mistaken, it's only a matter of time. And I know you're giving him more than you've taken; you've come to the end of the line. And I can't stand it, you're feeling so sad. I can't take it, it's makin' me mad Say the word and I will rescue you. (Say the word, say the word) Say the word and I will come to rescue you. (Say the word, say the word) Something missing in your life; tell you what I say; blues are on the run and help is on the way. Something missing in your life; tell you what I'll do. Just like in a fairy tale, I'll rescue you. I'm gonna rescue you. I just can't take it when your feeling so sad. I can't take it, it's making me mad. Something missing in your life; tell you what I say; blues are on the run and help is on the way. Something missing in your life; tell you what I'll do. Just like in a fairy tale, I'll rescue you. I'm gonna rescue you. Say the word and I will rescue you. (Say the word, say the word) Say the word and I will come to rescue you. (You know that help is on the way) @SONG: Love Me Tomorrow (Peter Cetera and David Foster) She said, "It's lonely here tonight." She's always sad when she's alone. She said, "I need you here tonight." She couldn't wait 'til I get home. She loves me, and that's all I need to know. She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go. Then she said, "Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me? Love me tomorrow like today. Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see I need you much more than yesterday?" You know it's always cold at night; it's always lonely 'til the dawn. And though it's not what we both want, knowing she's there, I'll carry on. Because she loves me, and that's all I need to know. She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go. Then she said, "Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me? Love me tomorrow like today. Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see I need you more than any words can say?" She loves me, and that's all I need to know. She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go. Then she said, "Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me? Love me tomorrow like today. Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see I need you much more than yesterday?" Love me tomorrow; love me tomorrow like today. Love me tomorrow; I need you much more than yesterday. @ALBUM: Chicago 18 @SONG: Niagara Falls (Steve Kipner and Bobby Caldwell) 1985 April Music, Inc/ Stephen Kipner Music ASCAP & Blackwood Music, Inc.

CHORUS: As long as Niagara falls, As long as Gibraltar stands, Till hell freezes over I'll always be your man. Tell me, when you're there lying by his side.

Every day there's lovers giving up on love. People say it's just a fact of modern living. All around us, people fall in love and marry. Then we hear they're breaking up, and wonder why? Did they mean it when they said it was forever? All I know is what I feel. CHORUS: Forever Is a long, long time. Longer than we ever realize. Forever Is a long, long time. I'm gonna love you the rest of my life. Forever. Every day I spend with you, I call it lucky, Every night we touch and speak the words of love. Did I mean it when I said it was forever? All I know is what I feel. CHORUS I'm gonna love you the rest of my life Forever @SONG: If She Would Have Been Faithful... (Steve Kipner and Randy Goodrum) 1985 April Music, Inc/ Stephen Kipner Music & California Phase Music ASCAP I was thinking about her Visiting the past Reconstructing details with old photographs Studying the faces With an objective point of view Suddenly remembering doesn't haunt me At the time you couldn't tell me That one day I'd be glad That something that I thought was love was misinterpreted She had another lover- she emphatically denied But they were doin' me a favor A blessing in disguise CHORUS: If she would have been faithful If she could have been true Then I would've been cheated I would never know real love I would've missed out on you I watch you sleeping- your body touchin' me There's no doubt about it This is where I want to be It's so ironic- I had to lose to win I want to thank her (Thank her again) CHORUS Bridge: It's a paradox- full of contradiction How I got from there to here It defies a Logical explanation CHORUS @SONG: 25 or 6 to 4 (Robert Lamm and James Pankow) 1986 Lamminations Music/ Aurelius Music ASCAP Waiting for the break of day Searching for something to say Flashing lights against the sky Giving up I close my eyes Sitting cross-legged on the floor Twenty-five or six to four Staring blindly into space Getting up to splash my face Wanting just to stay awake Wond'ring how much I can take Should I try to do some more Twenty-five or six to four Feeling like I ought to sleep Spinning room is sinking deep Waiting for the break of day Searching for something to say Twenty-five or six to four Twenty-five or six to four @SONG: Will You Still Love Me (David Foster, tom Keane and Richard Baskin) 1986 Air Bear Music adm by Warner Tamerlane Pub.

All the boys, All the girls, All the time making love with our eyes. Life just went on for us Day after day We could fly!- Oh! Cocky, so confident There was no way we could die. CHORUS: Over, over and over again. Life is a circle, But it's over and over again. Over, over. Little words, Little games, The dramas we played, left behind.

CHORUS @SONG: It's Alright (Bill Champlin and David Foster) All dressed up With no place to go, Somebody lost a romance. All messed up, But you never know, This may be a good chance. You can hold me. I can make it better. You can hold me. Don't have to fall in love forever. I'll be there one night at a time. You don't have to love me If that's not what you're after. Oh, oh, oh and it's Alright. I got the time. Alright To tell one more little lie. And it's alright I'll make you feel fine. Alright If it's all night. Ain't nobody home Don't you hang your head, Don't get caught up in the sorrow. All alone Call me up instead, Let me take you to tomorrow. Let me hold you. I'll make you feel better. Let me hold you. Don't have to fall in love forever. Don't be scared to call anytime. You don't have to love me If that's not what you're after. Oh, oh, oh and it's... CHORUS: Oh oh oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh oh oh.

It's alright to live it up tonight. @SONG: Free Flight (horn insert between cuts) (James Pankow) @SONG: Nothin's Gonna Stop Us Now (Jason Scheff and Buzz Feiten) He was lost, uncertain. Only she could see He was waiting for the night to end. And with just one kiss Brought him back into the light again. He said nothin's gonna stop us now. He said baby, nothing's gonna stop us now. But tonight, she's waiting For a stranger's touch at the dark end of a street And the whispered words from the sidewalk They sound so sweet He says nothin's gonna stop us now. She said baby, nothin's gonna stop us now. Look out now, 'cause she'll break your heart again No one sees what the years have failed to mend, yeh. Standin' there beneath the street lights. Telling secrets in the darkest night. Heaven's just a stolen kiss away. And her look, it lingers On a restless night when you're back on the street again. With his empty dreams, there's another broken heart to mend. He says nothing's gonna stop us now. They said baby, nothing's gonna stop us now. I'm telling you baby, nothin's gonna stop us now. They said baby, nothin' gonna stop us now. And tonight, she's waiting On @SONG: I Believe (Bill Champlin) I used to be the first one to cry So afraid of a lonely tomorrow. Heartache was all that I had To call my own- so all alone. You came along and gave to my life Something more than the pain and the sorrow. Now that you're with me, we'll never be alone, In love, in love. CHORUS: I believe In the love that you gave, I believe In the life that you saved, I believe how you make me feel Today I believe in you Night after night, I waited alone For something deeper than yesterday's feelings. Never believing that love would ever come To me- oh no. Then there was you, and out of the blue, Once a heart that was broken was healing. Love is the reason we'll never be alone, Oh no- oh no CHORUS I still believe, Believe in something right. 'Cause I love you for believing in me. I believe in you. CHORUS @SONG: One More Day (James Pankow and Carmen Grillo) Listen to the wind Hear the voice inside you. Something in the air, Something you've been blind to. People everywhere are dying to be free. Time has come to live our lives in harmony. CHORUS: Give the children of the world one more day, Give the children of the world, give them one more day. Where do we begin? When will freedom find us? Bring the new day in Free the chains that bind us. People reaching out for just a little more. Love is all we need to open up the door. CHORUS Now the future's up to you. Take a stand and see things thru For the children of tomorrow. Give the world one more day, Time enough to find a way To start over a way to go on. One more day One more day Give the children of the world One more day One more day One more day Give the children of tomorrow One more day -------------------- Don F. Pizarro pizarrdf@udavxb.oca.udayton.edu "Hard To Say I'm Sorry" Everybody needs a little time away I heard her say, from each other Even lovers need a holiday Far away from each other Hold me now It's hard for me to say I'm sorry I just want you to stay After all that we've been through I will make it up to you I promise to And after all that's been said and done You're just a part of me I can't let go Couldn't stand to be kept away Just for the day, from your body Wouldn't want to be swept away Far away from the one that I love Hold me now It's hard for me to say I'm sorry I just want you to know Hold me now I really want to tell you I'm sorry I could never let you go After all that we've been through I will make it up to you I promise to And after all that's been said and done You're just a part of me I can't let go And after all that we've been through I will make it up to you I promise to You're going to be the lucky one ******************************************************************************* "Hard To Say I'm Sorry" from the album "Chicago - Greatest Hits 1982-1989" This is my favorite Chicago song. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do. Sonthi Yamniyom yamnis@rpi.edu *******************************************************************************If you leave me now, you take away the biggest part of me. Ooo oh, baby please don't go. If you leave me now, you'll take away the very heart of me. Ooo oh, baby please don't go. Ooo, oh, i just want you to stay. A love like ours is love that's hard to find. How could we let it slip away? We've come too far to leave it all behind. How could we end it all this way? When tomorrow comes and we both regret the things we said today.
