Lyrics Chicago - Both Reached For The Gun

Lyrics Chicago - Both Reached For The Gun

(bandmaster speaking)
Mr. Billy flynn and the press conference rag
Notice how his mouth never moves...... Almost

Where'd you come from
Mississippi
And your parents
Very wealthy
Where are they now
Six feet under
But she was granted one more start
The convent of the sacred heart

When'd ya get here
1920
How old were you
Don't remember
Then what happened
I met amis, then he stole my heart away
Convinced me to elope one day

(mary sunshine)
Oh you poor dear I can't believe what you've been through
A convent girl
A runaway marriage, now tell us roxie
Who's fred casely
My ex-boyfriend
(reporters)why'd you shoot him
I was leaving
Was he angry
Like a madman
Still I said fred move along
She knew that she was doing wrong

Then describe it
He came toward me
With the pistol
From my bureau
Did you fight him
Like a tiger
He had strength and she had none
And yet we both reached for the gun

Oh yes
Oh yes
Oh yes we both
Oh yes we both
Oh yes we both
Reached for
The gun
The gun
The gun

Oh yes we both
Reached for the gun

Oh yes they both
Reached for the gun
For the gun

(billy flynn)
Under-stand-able, under-stand-able
Yes it perfectly under-stand-able
Compre-hen-sible, compre-hen-sible
Not a bit reprehensible, its sooo de-fen-si-ble

(reporters)
How ya feelin'
Very frightened
(mary sunshine)
Are you sorry
(roxie speaking)
Are you kidding?
What's your statement
All I'd say is
Though my choo-choo jumped the track
I'd give my life to bring him back
And
Stay away from
What
Jazz and liquor
And
And the men who
What
Play for fun
And what
That's the thought that
Yea
Came upon me
When
When we both reached for the gun!!!!!!!!!!

(mary sunshine singing)
Under-stand-able, under-stand-able
(billy flynn and mary sunshine)
Yes it perfectly under-stand-able
Compre-hen-sible, compre-hen-sible
Not a bit reprehensible, its sooo de-fen-si-ble

Lyrics Chicago - Look Away

Lyrics Chicago - Look Away

When you called me up this mornin'
Told me 'bout the new love you found
I said, "I'm happy for you, I'm really happy for you"

Found someone else
I guess I won't be comin' 'round
I guess it's over, baby
It's really over baby, whoa

And from what you said
I know you've gotten over me
It'll never be the way it used to be
So if it's gotta be this way
Don't worry baby, I can take the news, okay

But if you see me walkin' by
And the tears are in my eyes
Look away, baby, look away

If we meet on the streets someday
And I don't know what to say
Look away, baby, look away
Don't look at me
I don't want you to see me this way

When we both agreed as lovers
We were better off as friends
That's how it had to be
Yeah, that's how it had to be

I tell you I'm fine
But sometimes I just pretend
Wish you were holdin' me
Wish you were still holdin' me, whoa

I just never thought
That I would be replaced so soon
I wasn't prepared to hear those words from you
I know I wanted to be free
Yeah, baby, this is how we wanted it to be

But if you see me walkin' by
And the tears are in my eyes
Look away, baby, look away

And if we meet on the streets someday
And I don't know what to say
Look away, baby, look away
Don't look at me
I don't want you to see me this way

If you see me walkin' by
And the tears are in my eyes
Look away, baby, look away

And if we meet on the streets someday
And I don't know what to say
Look away, baby, look away
Don't look at me
I don't want you to see me this way

If you see me walkin' by
And the tears are in my eyes
Look away, baby, look away
Don't look at me
I don't want you to see me this way

When you called me up this mornin'
Told me 'bout the new love you found
I said, "I'm happy for you, I'm really happy for you"

Lyrics Chicago - Rediscovery

Lyrics Chicago - Rediscovery

Oh what a beautiful night
The stars are shining bright
I've not been feeling right
Not been feeling right
I've not been feeling right
Soon it's gonna change
Time to rearrange
Stop this acting strange
Found us a beautiful place
Perfect time and space
And now we can retrace
Now we can retrace
Now we can retrace
All we have begun
New oblivion
Havin' lots of fun
Got to get back inside
Dreams and thoughts collide
Save you from this crazy
Save you from this crazy
Save you from this crazy
Life
Please be good to me
Last chance to be free
This mountain majesty
This rediscovery

Lyrics Chicago - Call On Me

Lyrics Chicago - Call On Me

The feelin' was clear
Clear as a blue sky on a Sunday day
Everything was you
'Cause no one made me feel
The way I felt with you
Call on me 'cause
I love you
You know I do
You love me too

Then came a change
When I said I would soon be leavin' you
Nothin' else to do
Please remember I never lose the thought of you
Call on me 'cause
I love you
You know I do
You love me too

You've got to find
Someone else to somehow take my place
Share his life with you
But if you need a friend
You can always count on me
Count on me 'cause
I love you
You know I do
You love me too

You can count on me oh
You can count on me
You can count on me baby
You can count on me
You can count on me oh
You can count on me
You can count on me baby
You can count on me
You can count on me oh
You can count on me
You can count on me baby
You can count on me
You can count on me oh
You can count on me

Lyrics Chicago - Come In From The Night

Lyrics Chicago - Come In From The Night

How many times have I seen you running
Just one step ahead of the past?
So many nights have I seen it coming
I try to talk to you when you pass

I don't know who you were before I met you
You keep your secret safe with a mask
It's almost as though the truth is out to get you
You're just a runaway from the past

Girl, we've got a love worth keeping
Maybe there's a way to let it go
Someday when your demons are sleeping
Let me know, let me know

Come out of the darkness, baby
Come in from the night
You can let the light
Wash it from your mind
Open the blinds

So many times have I seen you crying
Never knowing what it's about
I do my best, I just keep on trying
To find a way inside to let it out

Girl, we've got a love worth making
It would be a shame to close the show
Now you got a chance worth taking
Let me know, let me know

Come out of the darkness, baby
Come in from the night
You can let the light
Wash it from your mind

Come out of the darkness, baby
Come in from the night
Open up your life, leave the past behind
Open up the blinds

Lyrics Chicago - Show Me The Way

Lyrics Chicago - Show Me The Way

Flying so high
Feeling so low
Fill my empty heart
Don't say no
Can I get through this night, with some loving to show
Won't you show me the way to go, I don't know

Won't you open your eyes
I know you really care
You see these games you play
They're just not fair
After all the good times and secrets we've shared
Won't you show me the way to go, I don't know

I want to take my place
I want to take my place
I want to take my place with the loved ones
Well I still can't see how things were meant to be
Love me even for one day I'll treat you like a lady
In my heart you'll stay forever you know
Won't you show me the way to go, I don't know

Marching into your heart
Marching into your heart

Lyrics Chicago - Nothin's Gonna Stop Us Now

Lyrics Chicago - Nothin's Gonna Stop Us Now

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

Lyrics Chicago - Lovin' Chains

Lyrics Chicago - Lovin' Chains

Moved out west just to get away
Miles of sky and empty space
Mirrors my soul
I'm out here on my own

I got a new job and a couple new friends
There's even someone special,
I think I could start again
But every time we touch
It reminds me of us, and

[Chorus]
Every time I close my eyes
To go to sleep at night
I wake up and I see your face
Even in my dreams
I can't get anyplace
I can't shake off your lovin' chains
Your lovin' chains

So I moved back east just to face my tears
To say what needs sayin' before you disappear
But old friends say you're gone
Long since moved on, now

[Chorus]

I think I'm never gonna climb this mountain
Of my feelings for you
I'm gonna have to live here in your shadow
Until the skies are no longer blue!

[Chorus]

Lyrics Chicago - Mississippi Delta City Blues

Lyrics Chicago - Mississippi Delta City Blues

I've got a smile
That I put on
When I'm not at home
When I'm not alone

But it is so hard
To make that smile
'Cause I know I'll be at home
And alone in a while

And if I look in a mirror
I see my eyes start to tear
I can't help but cry
Since you said goodbye

I've got to hide
What I'm feelin' inside
Can't let them see
How you're hurtin' me

So I guess that's what I'll do
Won't let them see through
Won't let them know
That you could hurt me so

I've got a laugh
That I put on
When I'm not at home
When I'm not alone

But it is so hard
To fake that laugh
When my insides are cryin'
And my heart's torn in half

And all the music I hear
And things I valued so dear
Make me feel so blue
They all remind me of you

(Now) What can I do
(Now) That our love is through
And my purpose is gone
Still I got to live on

I guess that's what I'll do
I won't let them see through
I won't let them know
That you could hurt me so

Lyrics Chicago - Hard To Say I'm Sorry

Lyrics Chicago - 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 is 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

After all that's been said and done
You're just a 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

Lyrics Chicago - Mama Take

Lyrics Chicago - Mama Take

On the road
But I won't be gone for long
Babe, I'm leavin' you tomorrow
On my way
And you know you make me strong
I'll be thinkin' about you all night long
Mama, take just a little bit
Mama, take just a little bit
Mama, take just a little bit from my heart
Mama, shake just a little bit
Mama, brake just a little bit
Mama, take just a little bit from my heart
All alone
And I'm feelin' down today
Won't let nothin' come between us
Say the words
And the words are meant to say
I'll be thinkin' about you everyday
Mama, take just a little bit
Mama, take just a little bit
Mama, take just a little bit from my heart
Mama, shake just a little bit
Mama, brake just a little bit
Mama, take just a little bit from my heart
From my heart
I believe that we belong beyond a doubt
If we have a change of heart
We can always change our mind
And I know we'll work it out
I can see that it's the only way to go
It's the only chance I get
It's the only way you'll know
That I love to love you
Mighty love
Gettin' hard to find today
I believe in you forever
Say the words
And the words are meant to say
I'll be thinkin' about you everyday
Mama, take just a little bit
Mama, take just a little bit
Mama, take just a little bit from my heart
Mama, shake just a little bit
Mama, brake just a little bit
Mama, take just a little bit from my heart
Mama, take just a little bit
Mama, take just a little bit
Mama, take just a little bit from my heart
Mama, shake just a little bit
Mama, brake just a little bit
Mama, take just a little bit from my heart
Mama, take just a little bit
Mama, take just a little bit
Mama, take just a little bit from my heart

Lyrics Chicago - Happy Man

Lyrics Chicago - Happy Man

Merely by chance
Very unsuspecting
You caught my heart
Unprotecting me
Now I've fallen in love with you

Just when I thought
I was free and easy
You came along to me
Soft and breezy

Now I've fallen in love with you
Woo hoo
I've fallen in love with you

And for the first time in my life
I know what it's like to be a happy man
Happy man
And for the first time in my life
You've given me something I can't understand
Being a happy man

Be with me now
Love me forever
Leaving you lady
Is something that I'd never do
I've fallen in love with you

All of my life it seems I have waited
Now I can say all these words I have stated are true
I've fallen in love with you
Woo hoo
Fallen in love with you woo hoo

Lyrics Chicago - Poem 58

Lyrics Chicago - Poem 58

The way you talk
The things you've done
Make me wish I
Was the only one
Who
Could ever have made you laugh now
Could have made you
Made you want want to cry
To have been there the day
You first whispered "I love you"
Yes I love you

When you discover
All those new things
And when you first
First met the world
When you felt beautiful
And you said hello(owowow)
To everything you saw
If I could have been all
So I could have known you all those times
I love you
Yes, I love you
Yes I do

Lyrics Chicago - If She Would Have Been Faithful

Lyrics Chicago - If She Would Have Been Faithful

I was thinking about her, visiting the past
Reconstructing details with old photographs
I was studying the faces with an objective point of view
Suddenly remembering doesn't haunt me
I'll follow the sun
And now the time has come, and so, my love, I must go
And though I lose a friend, in the end you will know oh
One day you'll find that I have gone
But tomorrow might rain so I'll follow the sun
All the time you couldn't tell me that one day I'd be glad
That something that I thought was love was misinterpreted

But they were doing me a favor, a blessing in disguise
If she would've 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 touching me
There's no doubt about it, this is where I want to be
You know it's so ironic, I had to lose to win
I want to thank her, if she would've 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
It's a paradox full of contradiction, how I got from there to here
It defies a logical explanation
If she would've 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
If she would've 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

Lyrics Chicago - Once In A Lifetime

Lyrics Chicago - Once In A Lifetime

When I saw your face
I could feel my heartbeat begin to race
In the still of the night
It was love at first sight

Not too long ago
I was on my own
Never would have known
You'd come into my life
Now you're the love of my life

[Chorus]
Once in a lifetime
Maybe the last time
Just the right time to fall in love
Once in a lifetime
For such a long time
I've been waiting for you

You were there for me
It was there for you
We were meant to be
Now we're fallin' in love
Finally fallin' in love

[Chorus]

Lyrics Chicago - It's Alright

Lyrics Chicago - It's Alright

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.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh.
It's alright to give it one more try.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh.
It's alright to live it up tonight.

Lyrics Chicago - I Move On

Lyrics Chicago - I Move On

Catherine Zeta-Jones: While truckin' down
The road of life
Although all hope seems gone...
I just move on

Renee Zellweger: When I can't find a single star
To hang my wish upon
I just move on...
I move on

Catherine Zeta-Jones: I run so fast!
A shotgun blast
Can hurt me not one bit!

Renee Zellweger: I'm on my toes! 'Cause heaven knows
A movin' target's hard to hit!

Both: So as we play
An ex-ballet
We're not the dyin' swan
We just move on...
We move on

Renee Zellweger: Just when it seems
We're out of dreams
And things have got us down...

Catherine Zeta-Jones: We don't despair!
We don't go there!
We hang our bonnets out of town!

Both: So there's no doubt
We're well cut out
To run life's marathon...
We just move on...
We just move on...

So light of foot!
We can't stay put!
We just move on!

Yes, we move on...

Lyrics Chicago - Don't Get Around Much Anymore

Lyrics Chicago - Don't Get Around Much Anymore

Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't Get Around Much Anymore.

Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you Don't Get Around Much Anymore.

Oh, darling I guess
My mind's more at ease
But nevertheless
Why stir up memories.

Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
It's awfully diff'rent without you
Don't Get Around Much Anymore.

Lyrics Chicago - Saturday In The Park

Lyrics Chicago - Saturday In The Park

Saturday in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
Saturday in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
People dancing, people laughing
A man selling ice cream, singing Italian songs
"Eh Cumpari, ci vo sunari"
Can you dig it (yes, I can)
And I've been waiting such a long time
For Saturday

Another day in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
Another day in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
People talking, really smiling
A man playing guitar
Singing for us all
Will you help him change the world
Can you dig it (yes, I can)
And I've been waiting such a long time
For today

Slow motion riders fly the colors of the day
A bronze man still can tell stories his own way
Listen children, all is not lost,
All is not lost, oh no, no,

Funny days in the park
Every day's the Fourth of July
Funny days in the park
Every day's the Fourth of July
People reaching, people touching
A real celebration
Waiting for us all
If we want it, really want it
Can you dig it (yes, I can)
And I've been waiting such a long time
For the day
