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.
Mostly I’m silent.
Never think about words to say.
When I kiss you, I feel a thousand different feelings.
I’m covered with chills all over my body.
And while I feel them, I quickly try to decide which one
I should try to put into words, oh no,
Try to put into words.
Mostly I’m silent.
Only the beginning of what I want to feel forever.
Only the beginning. Only just the start.
I’ve got to get you into my life.
Got to get you next to me.
Only the beginning. Only just the start.
Man, if you start quoting “Colour My World” I’m out of here! Still have chilling memories of my sister playing that every night on flute as part of her high-school marching band practice. (That, and the theme from Star Wars.) Was also the slow-dance song of the mid-70s and no doubt many a prom theme.
Chicago … a band that seems mostly forgotten in recent pop history, but registers like a 10-ton weight for anyone who was around back then and remembers one platinum album after another …
