Questions 67 and 68
Chicago Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics of "Questions 67 and 68" by Chicago express a sense of uncertainty and wonder about a new romantic relationship. The singer is asking if the intense feelings they are experiencing together are real and if they just appeared suddenly, or if they were a natural progression. The lyrics also suggest that the singer has been hurt in past relationships, but those memories fade away when they are with their current partner.
The use of the numbers 67 and 68 in the title refers to the year the song was written, 1967, and the year it was recorded, 1968. The lyrics were written by Robert Lamm, one of the founding members of Chicago, and the song was included on their debut album, "The Chicago Transit Authority."

Can this feeling that we have together
Is it possible for the emotions we feel towards each other right now to truly exist?
Ooh, suddenly exist between
It seems like out of nowhere we have developed this connection.
Did this meeting of our minds together
Did we come to a mutual understanding?
Ooh, happen just today, somewhere
Or has it been something that has been building up over time?
I'd like to know,
I'm curious about this and I need to ask you,
Can you tell me, please don't tell me
But at the same time, I don't know if I'm ready to hear what you have to say yet,
It really doesn't matter anyhow
Regardless, it won't change the way I feel about you,
It's just that the thought of us so happy
The idea of us being together and happy is just so alluring,
Appears in my mind, as a beautifully mysterious thing, well, yeah, yeah
It's something I can't quite comprehend, but it's wonderful to think about.
Was your image in my mind so deeply, ooh
Did I think about you so frequently that my mind created an image of you that's deeply ingrained?
Ooh, other faces fade away
Other people I may have had feelings for disappear from my mind when I'm with you,
Blocking memories of unhappy hours
You make me forget about any negative experiences from my past relationships,
Ooh, leavin' just a burnin' love
And all that's left is this intense love I feel for you,
Can this lovin' we have found within us
Is it possible that we truly have found love within each other?
Did we somehow try to make it happen
Did we intentionally work towards building a relationship, or did it just happen naturally?
Ooh, was it just a natural thing
Perhaps it was just fate bringing us together,
Yes it does now, baby
Regardless of how it happened, the love I feel for you is real and I know it now.

on Oh, Thank You Great Spirit
Great song and a fitting tribute to Jimi from his friend and fan Terry Kath, I've all ways believed the song was kind of a prospective of the dead, coming to the realization that they have crossed over and or no longer burden by all of life's problem's and pain's and are now free from all, and now overcome with gratitude to the Great Spirit , Greater of the universe and of life , GOD, that he is now free to fly the heavenly sky's , but ether way death or just a good night's sleep, great song.
