Questions 67 And 68 Lyrics
Can this feeling that we have together
Oooh, suddenly exist between
Did this meeting of our minds together
Oooh, happen just today, some way
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
Was your image in my mind so deeply
Oooh, other faces fade away
Blocking memories of unhappy hours
Oooh, 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
Oooh, suddenly exist between
Did we somehow try to make it happen
Oooh, 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
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
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.
If anything it has the most 'pizzaz' of any Chicago song. Maybe you're more used to the MOR ballads of the Cetera-led era.

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

@Jp4L Wonderful song. Gives me goose bumps. No more questions, 69 is mighty fine!

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.
Which is weird in the context of 1969, you'd think a horn-driven rock song would be KING in those days. After all "Everyday People" was #1 in that same time.

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.
