Chicago / If You Leave Me Now (1976)

邦題：「愛ある別れ」

シカゴはじめての大ヒット曲。

このグループはサックスやホーンなど独特のサウンドですが、ピーター・セテラの甘い歌声で、その後世界的な人気グループになっていく、その記念碑的な曲ですね。。。

うん、このグループにはラブバラードがよく似合う。

If you leave me now, youll take away the biggest part of me
No baby please dont go
If you leave me now, youll take away the very heart of me
No baby please dont go

A love like ours is love thats hard to find
How could we let it slip away
Weve come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way
When tomorrow comes well both regret
Things we said today

A love like ours is love thats hard to find
How could we let it slip away
Weve come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way
When tomorrow comes well both regret
Things we said today

If you leave me now, youll take away the biggest part of me
No baby please dont go
Oh girl, just got to have you by my side

No baby, please dont go

Oh mama, I just got to have your lovin, yeah
