Chicago is a rock band that was formed in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois. In the bands debut, they began as a politically charged, sometimes experimental rock band headed by the three-headed monster of singer/guitarist Terry Kath, singer/bassist Peter Cetera and singer/keyboardist Robert Lamm. The band featured an unusual and unusually versatile line-up of instrumentalists, including saxophonist Walter Parazaider, trombonist James Pankow, and trumpet player Lee Loughnane, along with more traditional rock instruments — guitarist Terry Kath, keyboardist Robert Lamm, drummer Danny Seraphine, and bassist Peter Cetera (who was the last to join the original group). The bands original name was 'The Big Thing', which changed to 'Chicago Transit Authority' when their first album "The Chicago Transit Authority" was released. Soon after the album's release, the band's name was shortened to simply 'Chicago', when the actual Chicago Transit Authority threatened legal action.

Birthday Boy Lyrics

Chicago

Birthday boy, blow out the candles;
Good friends around you, you should feel o.k.
Dont look so sad and blue;
Dont act forsaken, this days for you.
Good days are coming, my friend;
Life can be easy til the end.
Birthday boy, dont fear tomorrow;
Changes before you; years drift away.
You see life as pictures, frame to frame;
Many years wasted, what a shame.
Good days are coming, my friend;
Life can be easy til the end, til the end.
That empty feeling wont go away;
Caught up in hurting, day after day;
When will you see the joy in your life?
Its there for you, its there for you.
Dont look so sad and blue;
Dont act forsaken, this days for you.
Good days are coming, once you stop running;
Life could be easy, easy for you.
