[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1: Peter Cetera]
Can this feeling that we have together
Ooh, suddenly exist between?
Did this meeting of our minds together
Ooh, happen just today, somewhere?
[Chorus: Peter Cetera]
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
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2: Peter Cetera]
Was your image in my mind so deeply?
Ooh, other faces fade away
Blocking memories of unhappy hours
Ooh, leavin' just a burnin' love
[Chorus: Peter Cetera]
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
Got to know now, baby
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 3: Peter Cetera]
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?
[Chorus: Peter Cetera]
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
[Outro: Peter Cetera]

In a March 1999 interview with Debbie Kruger, James Pankow said:
In the old days I used to write horns very harmonically. “Questions 67 & 68” is probably a very good example of how I used to approach horns. I had no rests. We played from the first bar of the song to the last bar of the song, wh...
