35 Years CHICAGO-fan,
from STRING OF PEARLS to I’M A MAN,
at NIGHT AND DAY I LISTEN to
their songs, like Jimmy’s ONLY YOU,
and often dancing on the floor
‘till 25 OR 6 TO 4.
Then AT THE SUNRISE I feel good,
“CHICAGO, thanks” - I’m IN THE MOOD
From the BEGINNINGS to eleven,
CHICAGO was my music-heaven.
If childhood-, teenage-, grown up-day,
their music had SO MUCH TO SAY.
BIGGER THAN ELVIS or anyone,
ONLY YOU ‘re my number one!
Long time ago, I felt so FREE
I saw the boys in Germany,
OLD DAYS - it was the real seven
plus Laudir - ohh, I was in heaven,
when I saw them play VARESE
and Terry singing ONCE OR TWICE.
I miss you Terry - I do swear,
and always WISHIN’ YOU WERE HERE!
The HOT STREETS -, 13-, 14-time,
HOLD ON - I’m looking for a rhyme,
well - not the best phase of the boys,
a lot to do for CRITICS CHOICE.
LONG TIME NO SEE - I felt alone,
in Germany the group seemed GONE (LONG GONE)
but now I am a HAPPY MAN,
Chicago lives - ALIVE AGAIN,
I found this board - “thanks Lord” I pray;
I’m FEELING STRONGER EVERY DAY!
OVER AND OVER I pray to heaven,
that there will be a 27!
But ONLY YOU can TAKE THE CHANCE,
and bring your music back to glance.
SOMEDAY it comes - than ALL IS WELL,
like in the OLD DAYS - so I tell!
Oh well - WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY?
Go on, not only ONE MORE DAY,
your music really MAKE ME SMILE,
ALL THE YEARS - that’s quite a while!
Infected with CHICAGO-fever,
since four decades - NOW MORE THAN EVER!
