Styx is the first musical act to ever have four consecutive triple platinum albums, and remain one of the most popular musical acts in history. The group originally formed in the Chicago, Illinois, area in 1961 as "The Tradewinds". This earliest line-up of the group included vocalist, pianist, keyboardist, and accordion player Dennis DeYoung, and a rhythm section comprising brothers Chuck and John Panozzo on bass and drums, respectively. Changing their name briefly to "TW4", the band added guitarists/vocalists James "J.Y." Young and John Curulewski. The band members decided to choose a new name when they signed to Wooden Nickel Records; several suggestions were made and, says DeYoung, Styx was chosen because it was "the only one that none of us hated." Guitarist Tommy Shaw joined the group in 1975 following the departure of Curelewski.

I Will Be Your Witness Lyrics

Styx

Written by tommy shaw, jack blades
Lead vocals by tommy shaw
I woke up this morning
Wishing you were here
Another cup of coffee
And then you appeared
A crystal vision
Shining through the rain
Smiling through my window pane
In the morning traffic
I turn on the radio
And the song thats playing
Is one that we used to know
When we were dancing slowly
Under the mirror ball
You were singing to me
I felt like we had it all
It was our adventure
I wont let it slip away
Gonna make it like it was before this day
I will be your witness
(that much I can do) that much I can do
(I wanna tell the world) I just want to tell the world
How much Im missing you
I will be your witness
(dont you know its true) dont you know its true
(I wanna testify) I just want to testify
How much Im loving you
Did you ever notice
Just what you mean to me
Youre the piece of the puzzle
That makes my world complete
I need your freedom
I need your company
Let me tell you how its going to be
I will be your witness
(that much I can do) that much I can do
(I wanna tell the world) I just want to tell the world
How much Im missing you
Ill be your alibi tonight
Ill make everything all right
I will be your defense
When life makes no sense
Baby you just wait and see
Its a crazy crazy world
Woke up this morning
Wishing you were here
Poured a cup of coffee
And then you appeared
Such a great adventure
I wont let it slip away
You know I need you every night and every day
I will be your witness
(that much I can do) that much I can do
(I wanna tell the world) I just want to tell the world
How much Im missing you
I will be your witness
(dont you know its true) dont you know its true
(I wanna testify) I just want to testify
How much Im loving you
I will be your witness (I will be your witness)
What else can I do (what else can I do)
I just want to tell the world
How much Im loving you
