This time I’ve found a love to treasure
One that’s impossible to measure
The future looks bright, the moment feels so right
Just being near you brings me pleasure.
This time the both of us can see
How we can love and still feel free
You came into sight, I saw a whole new light
I found out what happiness can be.
‘Cause Baby
I’d given up
Ever finding
Someone
To share my life
Forever.
This time we’ll make it
Baby, we see
Nothing can take it from you and me
This time I feel it, like never before
Each day I love you more.
This time our search for love has ended
All of our goals in life have blended
And baby tonight, I’ll love your body, make you feel right
We’ll see all our troubles can all be mended.
This time we’ll make it
Baby, we see
Nothing can take it from you and me
This time I feel it, like never before
Each day I love you more and more.

About Lyrics and This Time by Chicago

When you decide to study the lyrics to This Time, you're looking at the words, verses and background chorus from the 1977 song by Chicago. Some of the lyrics to This Time have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Chicago and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to This Time if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to This Time" means the words set to the music of This Time, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Chicago. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to This Time and the lyrics to This Time are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Chicago who came here looking just for the lyrics to This Time, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
