ATF: I-90 East

This weekly series will include as many of my all-time favorite tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way that your musical tastes can be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions that you might dare to make.  I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Questions 67 & 68
Chicago
Can this feeling that we have together
Oooh
Suddenly exist
Between
Did this meeting of our minds together
Oooh
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
Appears in my mind
As a beautifully
Mysterious thing
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

Was your image in my mind so deeply
Oooh
Other faces fade away
Blocking memories of unhappy hours
Oooh
Leaving just a burning 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 love that 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

Foreplay/Long Time
Boston
It's been such a long time
I think I should be goin'
Yeah
And time doesn't wait for me
It keeps on rollin'
Sail on
On a distant highway
Yeah
I've got to keep on chasin' a dream
I've gotta be on my way
Wish there was something I could say

Well I'm takin' my time
I'm just movin' on
You'll forget about me after I've been gone
And I take what I find
I don't want no more
It's just outside of your front door
I don’t want more
It's been such a long time
It's been such a long time

Well I get so lonely
When I am without you
But in my mind
Deep in my mind
I can't forget about you
Good times
And faces that remind me
I'm tryin' to forget your name
And leave it all behind me
You're comin' back to find me

Well I'm takin' my time
I'm just movin' on
You'll forget about me after I've been gone
And I take what I find
I don't want no more
It's just outside of your front door
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
It's been such a long time
It's been such a long time

Yeah

It's been such a long time
I think I should be goin'
Yeah
And time doesn’t wait for me
It keeps on rollin'
There's a long road
I've gotta stay in time with
Yeah
I've got to keep on chasin' that dream
Though I may never find it
I'm always just behind it

Well I'm takin' my time
I'm just movin' along
Takin' my time
Oh
Just movin' along
Takin' my time
Just takin’ my time
Takin' my time
Yeah
Takin’ my time
Oh
I’m about to move on home
Takin’ my time
Takin’ my time
Takin’ my time
Takin’ my time

  1. I frequently travel I-90 but I had no idea that this morning it would take me back to my high school years when Boston and Chicago were two of my favorites

  2. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Ann!!! I can honestly say that I-90 through your part of Pennsylvania is the best stretch of road I traveled over in the state.
