About Niagara Falls

"Niagara Falls" is the fourth single released by the American rock band, Chicago, from their 1986 album, Chicago 18. Lead vocals were shared by Jason Scheff and Bill Champlin. When writing the song, the band misspelled "Niagara" as "Niagra"; this mistake can be seen in the music video's title and most likely on the album, as Warner Bros. Records and Chicago never corrected it. Following the successful singles, "Will You Still Love Me?" (#3 US pop) and "If She Would Have Been Faithful. .." (#17 US pop), "Niagara Falls" only reached #91 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart.

Baby, so you think you can start again?
You got somebody new
But the same thing keeps happening
At the moment of truth
Whoever you're loving
You will be thinking of me

As long as Niagara falls
As long as Gibraltar stands
'Til Hell freezes over
I'll always be your man

Tell me, when you're there lying by his side
Do you make him believe all your needs have been satisfied?
Does he know that your heart is taken forever?
Girl, you will always be mine

As long as Niagara falls
As long as Gibraltar stands
'Til Hell freezes over
I'll always be your man

Time can't erase
What you feel in your heart
You can't replace the love
No, it doesn't matter how hard you try
Girl, you're gonna miss my loving till the day you die
'Til Hell freezes over

As long as Niagara falls
As long as Gibraltar stands
'Til Hell freezes over
I'll always be your man

As long as Niagara Falls
Until the end of time
'Til Hell freezes over
You are forever mine

As long as Niagara falls
As long as Gibraltar stands
'Til Hell freezes over
I'll always be your man
