Beginnings Lyrics
[Verse 1: Robert Lamm]
When I'm with you, it doesn't matter where we are
Or what we're doing, I'm with you, that's all that matters
Time passes much too quickly when we're together laughing
I wish I could sing it to you, oh no
I wish I could sing it to you
[Chorus: Robert Lamm, with bandmates]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Mostly I'm silent
Mmm, silent la la la la la
Never think of bad words to say
[Verse 2: Robert Lamm]
When I kiss you, I feel a thousand different feelings
The color of chills all over my body
And when I feel them, I quickly try to decide which one
I should try to put into words, oh no
Try to put into words
[Chorus: Robert Lamm, with bandmates]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Mostly I'm silent
Silent la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Silent
[Verse 3: Robert Lamm]
Only the beginning of what I want to feel forever, yeah
Oh no whoa
Yes, only the beginning of what I want to feel forever
Only the beginning, only just the start, yeah
I've got to get you into my life
Got to get you next to me, yeah
Only the beginning, only just the start
[Interlude]
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Mm hmm mm mm mm
[Instrumental]
[Outro: All]
Only the beginning, only the beginning
Only the beginning, only the beginning
Only the beginning, only the beginning
Only the beginning, only the beginning
Only the beginning, only the beginning
Only the beginning, only the beginning
Only the beginning, only the beginning
Only the beginning, only the beginning
Only the beginning, only the beginning
Only the beginning

What did Chicago say about "Beginnings"?
