Biography

Originally a group of Los Angeles based studio musicians including guitarist [a=Steve Lukather], keyboardist [a=David Paich], bassist [a=David Hungate], and the Porcaro Brothers (drummer [a=Jeff Porcaro], keyboardist [a=Steve Porcaro] and later bassist [a=Mike Porcaro]), aside from doing session work for other stars, Toto had a lengthy career of hits in their own right. Their commercial peak was 1982's "TOTO IV", which won several Grammy awards, including Album Of The Year. Toto is best known for their hits "Africa," "Hold The Line", "Rosanna", "Georgy Porgy" (covered by 3D and Eric Benet and sampled by MC Lyte on her track "Poor Georgie"), and "I Won't Hold You Back", the last of which Roger Sanchez used for his worldwide hit "Another Chance." After Steve Lukather decided to leave Toto in order to concentrate on his solo career, the band became officially defunct as of mid-2008, although in 2010 they reformed, allegedly for a short series of concerts only, to support their former bassist Mike Porcaro, who had been diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease.). However, the band continues to tour. In October 2020, Lukather and [a=Joseph Williams] announced a renewed line-up and plans for a tour.

LYRICS

If I had another chance tonight
I'd try to tell you that the things we had were right
Time can erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared
Now you're gone, I'm really not the same,
I guess I held myself to blame
Time can erase the things we said
But it gives me time to realize that you're the one who's sad

Chorus:
You know I won't hold you back now, the love we had just can't be found
You know I can't hold you back now

Now that I'm alone it gives me time to think about the years that you were mine
Time can erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared

Chorus: You know I won't...

You know I won't hold you back now, the love we had just can't be found

You know I can't hold you back now, the love we had just can't be found
