Chicago
Hard To Say Sorry
Chicago Hard To Say Sorry is a ballad performed by Chicago, written by band member Peter Cetera and producer David Foster.
The song hit number one for two weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on September 11 of that year. It was their first top fifty hit since "No Tell Lover" in 1978. The song, as well as the album on which it is featured, was a marked departure from Chicago's traditional soft rock, horns-driven sound, taking on a more polished and modern feel. There were minimal horns on the track, instead featuring more layered synthesizers and heavier distorted electric guitars in a more updated 1980's fashion. This was done to revitalize the band that was considered by some to be past its commercial prime at the time. The album version of "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" segued into a second song titled "Get Away," which was closer to the older horn-driven Chicago sound of the 1970s. Most adult contemporary radio stations at the time did not play the entire album track, however, choosing to cut it off just before "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" segued into "Get Away." About half the Top 40 radio stations played the longer version with "Get Away". The music video, itself using the album version, was shot in Greece.
Chicago Hard To Say 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 the part of me I can't let go (Ooo ooo)
Couldn't stand to be kept away
Just for the day
From your body
Wouldn't wanna be swept away
Far away, from the one that I love
Hold me now
It's 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
And after all that's been said and done
You're just the 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
You're gonna be the lucky one
When we get there gonna jump in the air
No one will see us 'cause there's nobody there
After all, you know we really don't care
Hold on, I'm gonna take you there
