I WILL BE THERE
By
Bee Gees
***************
This is the life you saved laid out before you
Everything that I think I have been and what I am now
Nothing can change the way I feel about you
Better we go on our separate ways
Nothing is left but the endless days
Nothing to cry but your name
Don’t you look back, don’t say a word
I will be lonely for you, I will be standing for you
Don’t you despair
I will be there for you
Farewell to you, goodbye for me
I will be waiting for you, I will be lonely for you
Don’t you despair
I will be there for you
Ohh, ohh
I will be there
Ohh, ohh
I will be there
Maybe this time next year we’ll be together
You can wipe away all of the tears, bring truth to the lies
There was a silent dream, we made a promise
We’d be there for each other forever
Borne like a ship on the ocean’s roar
Beating a path to your open door
Nothing will keep me away
Don’t you look back, don’t say a word
I will be lonely for you, I will be standing for you
Don’t you despair
I will be there for you
Each night I pray, to God above
You will be waiting for me, you will be lonely for me
Don’t you despair
I will be there for you
Ohh, ohh
I will be there
Ohh, ohh
I will be there
Ohh, ohh
I will be there
Ohh, ohh
I will be there
Ohh, ohh
I will be
BORN A MAN
***************
When I was just a little boy , when I didn’t know
My daddy put me n his knee and showed me the way to go
He said “a woman will do her best to make a fool out of you
So be a man and stand the test and see what you can do”.
I’m glad I am born a man
I’m glad I am born a man
If you got what it takes my boy
You can always choose
Work it out before it’s too late my boy
Make sure you never lose
I’m glad I am born a man
I’m glad I am born a man
Born a man
Ev’ry woman wants her man to live and learn on her land
Where I go , baby you go
Arrangement , man and wife
I’m glad I am born a man
I’m glad I am born a man
Born a man
DOGS
***************
I was hungry and I was cold , had a father far too old
Couldn’t make it to the place he’d like to be
In a treetrunk in the park , he was living in the dark
Keeping other dogs like him for company
In the evening I’d go down to a nightclub in the town
Try to get some bread to make another way
Back to the park I’d go , dig him out of the snow
You know he’s lived a thousand years day to day
Well , the days get shorter and the nights get longer
And you never learn to know
If you love one another , could you look at each other
Could it ever really show
And at this moment in time you couldn’t make up your mind
Now could you ever understand
Are you following me just like Moses to the sea
Do you think I’ll give you freedom in the end
When I’m long dead and gone will your love for me go on
Will I be the one you run to in the end
And all my dogs need a friend
It was a quarter to three in the summer of ’73
When I heard somebody call outside my door
Said “Are you friend or are you foe”
He looked up and he said “no, but I’d like to come inside and know you more”
Well the days get shorter and the nights get longer
And you never learn to know
If you love one another , could you look at each other
Could it ever really show
And at this moment in time you couldn’t make up your mind
Now could you ever understand
Are you following me just like Moses to the sea
Do you think I’ll give you freedom in the end
When I’m long dead and gone will your love for me go on
Will I be the one you run to in the end
And all my dogs need a friend
Need a friend
Need a friend
ROAD TO ALASKA
***************
I’m on the road to Alaska ,nowhere near Nebraska,
but I’m sure if I asked her she’ll know.
I ain’t got no Honey, I’m so short of money.
I really really wanna go home.
I dialed Oklahoma, made attempts to phone her,
gave up when I got no reply.
I’m on the road to Alaska, nowhere near Nebraska,
but I’m sure if I don’t ask her I’ll die.
I found Cincinatti, out there I was happy, every single day of my life.
I had me a woman, she started to runnin’ .
I really couldn’t make her my wife.
She started to show which was she was goin’, every single road she could go
I’m on the road to Alaska, nowhere near Nebraska
but I’m sure if I asked her she’ll know
I made Cincinatti, out there I was happy, every single day of my life.
I had me a woman, she started to runnin’.
I really couldn’t make her my wife.
She started to show which was she was goin’ , every single road she could go
I’m on the road to Alaska, nowhere near Nebraska
but I’m sure if I asked her she’ll know.
I’m sure if I ask her she’ll know.
I’m sure if I ask her she’ll know.
THIS IS YOUR LIFE
***************
Something that I hunger for
Something you deny
You say I’m bad for you
And baby so do I
Don’t you know that all you gotta do
You could be a lover
And baby this is
This is your life
Don’t break it
It’s who you do it for
It’s the pain and pleasure
This is your life
Temptation
A victim of the law
We can talk about it
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This is your life
This is your life
If you try to help someone
You get the evil eye
You say you suffocate
Well baby so do I
Don’t you know that all you gotta do
You could be a lover
And baby this is
This is your life
Don’t hide it
Don’t try to mystify
How soft the flesh is
This is your life
Get even, even if you die
Don’t run for cover
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This is your life
Temptation
That’s who you do it for
It’s the pain and the pleasure
This is your life
Temptation
A victim of the law
We can talk about it
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This is your life
Define ourselves
As something in space
Not enough for everyone
Everyone and as we speak
The enemy is the mind
I see the future coming for you
All the lonely days and the lonely nights
You’ve been searching for a love so right
It’s a tragedy just stayin’ alive
Stayin’ alive
And all that
Jive talking
What you doing on your back
Jive talking
More rap less crap
Times are bad, money is tight
Ain’t too much heaven on
A Saturday night
Tell me now how deep is your love
The heart is soft
But the brain is tough
The enemy is the mind
Don’t let the future fall apart
This is my world too, just run to me
If you ever wanna mend that broken heart
I have seen those nights on Broadway too
Blaming it all
What about you
This is your life
This is your life
Don’t hide it
Don’t try to mystify
How soft the flesh is
This is your life
It’s who you do it for
It’s the pain and pleasure
This is your life
Temptation
This is your life
ABOVE AND BEYOND
***************
Woman in a million to me
I never loved so much
Is it any wonder I’m alive
No one ever knows what makes a
Virtue or a vice
Let it be the spell I’m under
(These naked eyes)
Let it be the rain and thunder comes
I go above and beyond the sun
Some love never dies
Story of our lives, ohh,
Swear by the stars above
And late at night I pray to myself
That you and I got everything we need
I’d give it all for you and me
Love is the earth and the wind
And the fire and the soul
Love is above and beyond any eye to behold
Love is the key and the cause
And it’s makin’ us whole
Made me a little crazy, but I
Soon realize my fate
Every little touch I’m paralyzed
No one ever know what makes
An angel in disguise
Let me be the one to taste you
Those naked eyes
No pity if the city ever crumbles down
I go above and beyond the sun
Some love never dies
Story of our lives, ohh,
Swear by the stars above
And late at night I pray to myself
That you and I got everything we need
I’d give it all for you and me
Love is the earth and the wind
And the fire and we share
Love is the force and the edge
And it’s ready for those who dare
Love is above and beyond
And I’m taking you there
(And baby, I’ll take you there)
I go above and beyond the sun
Some love never dies
Story of our lives, ohh,
Swear by the stars above
And late at night I pray to myself
That you and I got everything we need
I’d give it all for you and me
Love is the earth and the wind
And the fire and the soul
Love is the key and the cause
And it’s makin’ us whole
Love is the force and the edge
And it’s yours if you dare
Love is above and beyond
And I’m taking you there
(Baby, I’ll take you there)
I go above and beyond the sun
Some love never dies
Story of our lives, ohh,
Swear by the stars above
And late at night I pray to myself
That you and I got everything we need
I’d give it all for you and me
