FIRST OF MAY
By
Bee Gees
***************
When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
we used to love while others used to play.
Don’t ask me why, but time has passed us by,
some one else moved in from far away.
Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
and you don’t ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never die,
but guess we’ll cry come first of May.
The apple tree that grew for you and me,
I watched the apples falling one by one.
And I recall the moment of them all,
the day I kissed your cheek and you were mine.
When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
do do do do do do do do do…
Don’t ask me why, but time has passed us by,
some one else moved in from far away.
ALONE AGAIN
***************
‘Leaving’ that’s all you ever seem to say and I’m tired
The wants you have me for have expired
Sleeping and reading ev’ry book I can find to get my mind off
In all I was a soul you were using
I am alone again
You can’t believe the tears that I’ve shed
I’m on a bound down train
Don’t desert me now or I am dead
People , the sun is going down on your heads so read your paper
There’s no one there for you to confide in
It’s instinct to always to have a shoulder to cry on
And to rely on
Someone there to share and to shine on
I am alone again
You can’t believe the tears that I’ve shed
I’m on a bound down train
Don’t desert me now or I am dead
I am alone again
You can’t believe the tears that I’ve shed
I’m on a bound down train
Don’t desert me down or I am dead
I LAY DOWN AND DIE
***************
Only last night when your arms held me tight
you told me you thought our love could last forever, forever
I was the one that gave you all the love when I thought
that our love could last forever, forever
I lay down and die
The whole world joins in
And everyone cries as teardrops begin
I lay down and die
And when darkness falls
can’t seem right there at all
I lay down and die
The whole world joins in
I lay down and die. The teardrops begin.
I lay down and die. And die. And die.
I lay down and die. The whole world joins in
I lay down and die and the teardrops begin
I lay down and die and I lay down and die
WALKING BACK TO WATERLOO
***************
I wish there was another year another time.
When people sang and poems rhymed.
My name could be Napoleon.
A thousand ships.
A windy sail, so huge and high it’s tall enough to touch the sky.
It’s beautiful but hard to find.
But I just wasn’t born in time.
Walking back to Waterloo again.
Where do I begin ?
In the brand new street, you can get a good seat at the end.
I can dream of growing trees and things that live and grass that’s green
In meadows that have never been.
But I still place my trust in the Queen.
What is life when a man is pressured based on wrong or right.
And I don’t know what it means.
There must be more we haven’t seen.
Walking back to Waterloo again.
Where do I begin?
In the brand new street, you can get a good seat at the end.
Walking back to Waterloo again.
Where do I begin?
In the brand new street, you can get a good seat at the end
I CAN’T SEE NOBODY
***************
I walk the lonely streets; I watch the people passing by.
I used to smile and say hello. Guess I was just a happy guy.
Then you happened,girl, this feeling that posessses me.
I just can’t move myself. I guess it all just had to be.
I can’t see nobody…no, I can’t see nobody.
Mine eyes can only look at you…you.
I used to have a brain; I used to think of many things.
I watched the falling rain and listened to the sweet birds sing.
Don’t ask me why, little girl. I love you and that’s all I can say.
You’re ev’ry ,ev’ry breath I take.You are my nights; my night and day.
Every single word you hear…is coming from this heart of mine.
I never felt like this before…a love like yours so young and fine.
And now as I try to forget you…it doesn’t work out any way.
I loved you such a long time ago…but in my eyes you’ll always be.
Every single word you hear…is coming from this heart of mine.
I loved you such a long time ago…don’t know why…
And I don’t know why…baby…
I HELD A PARTY
***************
I held a party and nobody came
Strangely I was upset
Poured out a drink and then Birkworth approached saying
“Have no regrets. Maybe your gentle friends had some delay.
Don’t try to take on the world”
Made up my bed and decided to sleep
Dreaming I was awake
Maybe I drank an excess of my drink
Nice clan, cordial crowd
Birkworth suggested we sleep through the night
I never knew him so well
Ah…..
