Can this feeling that we have together
Ooh, suddenly exist between
Did this meeting of our minds together
Ooh, happen just today, somewhere
I'd like to know,
Can you tell me, please don't tell me
It really doesn't matter anyhow
It's just that the thought of us so happy
Appears in my mind, as a beautifully mysterious thing, well, yeah, yeah

Was your image in my mind so deeply, ooh
Ooh, other faces fade away
Blocking memories of unhappy hours
Ooh, leavin' just a burnin' love
I'd like to know
Can you tell me, please don't tell me
It really doesn't matter anyhow
It's just that the thought of us so happy
Appears in my mind, as a beautifully mysterious thing
Yes it does now, baby

Can this lovin' we have found within us
Ooh, suddenly exist between
Did we somehow try to make it happen
Ooh, was it just a natural thing
I'd like to know
Can you tell me, please don't tell me
It really doesn't matter anyhow
It's just that the thought of us so happy
Appears in my mind, as a beautifully mysterious thing
Yes it does now, baby

Questions 67 And 68 song meanings

    The title of the song refers to the last two questions, which reveal that this is just questions 67 and 68 in a long line of questions he's been asking himself in this relationship. It comes from Robert Lamm's wife asking a million questions about their relationship, and the idea is that the first time it hits you, love is rarely trumpets and angels, it's usually questions and uncertainty. A very under-rated song in my opinion.

    This is a good, quality song off of the first album, but I've always thought it lacks the pizazz that so many other Chicago songs have.

    i disagree, i think this song and dialouge (part I & III) are two of chicagos finest songs.

    Very underrated in my opinion

    I think this song is Chicago at their best.Any ideas on what "Questions 67 and 68" refers to? The meaning of that line has always stumped me.

    According to Robert Lamm, this was written about a girlfriend who asked a lot of questions about commitment in 1967 and 1968, hence the title.

    As they said on their Carnegie Hall album, this was their first bust hit-bound single that never became a bust hit-bound single...Questions 67 and 68.

    I too have always thought that it was under appreciated.

    This song simply rocks and represents everything Chicago was all about before they sold out to MOR stations.

    My ex-boyfriend (we broke up in January) just sent me the lyrics to this song, do you think he misses me? He shredded my heart so with that said I am just trying to pick up the pieces of life.

    Q 67 & 68 are the questions one asks before 69?

    Right, but before it was a single, it was a song, and before it was a song it was a feeling. I have no question that it refers to the years 1967 and 1968, as others have stated. What remains mysterious to me is the dynamic that changed and the oblique references to mind-expansion from the past (1967) that turned into introspection and possibly paranoia or other psychopathic behavior in the presence (1968) and the "I've got to know, can you tell me please don't tell me" of what appears to be a state of mental collapse.

Siberian Kiss Glassjaw its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard Step Ministry Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; Light Up The Sky Van Halen The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it. Fast Car Tracy Chapman "Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
