LIVING EYES
By
Bee Gees
***************
Would you believe me if I told you your tomorrow is my yesterday
But be alive
I know that we will
The world keeps on moving but I’m holdin’ still
In the beginning I was far away and praying for my destiny
That would arrive
The moment you’re born
For we will be here when the miracle comes
Living Eyes,when under the sun don’t cry
No war in my mind
The state of my heart
Living eyes, when out in the rain will fall
The day I deny the face of my love
We are of age, we are in time
We are forever
Right now when the power is mine
I leave you heaven and the earth
I leave you never
And living to love is the reason we shine
When I been over I been under
I don’t own a dream to analyze
But living eyes you know that I do
believe in the soul and the magic of you
Living eyes, when under the sun don’t cry
No war in my mind
The state of my heart
Living eyes, when out in the rain will fall
The day I deny the face of my love
We are of age,we are in time
We are forever
Right now when the power is mine
I leave you heaven and the earth
I leave you never
And living to love is the reason we shine
Living eyes
When under the sun don’t cry
No war in my mind
The state of my heart
Living
PLEASE READ ME
***************
Many years ago I was a simple man
A simple man, no worries me;
I never lied
Please read me.
Not much conversation ever came from me,
I never saw reality;
I never tried.
Please read me.
Ah….
Maybe I’ve been lying on your couch too long
I’ll stay if you can see me through, explain why
Please read me. Please read me. Please read me.
THE WAY IT WAS
***************
I don’t know how, but nights get lonely now
They keep appearing in my eyes
Such a warm and tender glow
For just one moment I remember all
The love we had was never all that bad
There were smiles and there were tears
On that special starry night, with your arms around me
Held on tight
Wasn’t that the way it was?
Two strangers reaching for a worthless cause
Wasn’t that the love we shared?
Or just the restless years when no-one cared
I don’t know why, it’s hard to say goodbye
Or even justify the end
You meant so very much to me
Then to let you go, start my life again
The love we had was never all that bad
There were smiles and there were tears
Till that special summer day
When I reached out for you, you just walked away
Wasn’t that the way it was?
Two strangers reaching for a worthless cause
Wasn’t that the love we shared?
Or just the restless years when no-one cared
When you move it like you really know how to move me
I follow you wherever you go
I just wan
SUBWAY
***************
Ooh, take me to the subway
It ain’t far away, but the night is mine, like it fine, gonna stay
See you in the morning, gotta rush, et a bus, make a fuss
Gimme some loving in the morning
Ooh, she makes me feel so good, instant reaction and ready for love
I got no work, no sweat, no strain
I got to make it to the midnight train
so take me to the subway
Ooh, city life is bittersweet
I don’t care, take me there on the sstreet, freedom in the city
Gotta ride, goin’ down underground, watch me slide, loving in the city
Ooh, she makes me so complete, heavy in love and light on my feet
I got no work, no sweat, no strain
I got to make it to the midnight train
So take me to the subway
Ooh take me to the subway.
TEARS
***************
I started out to be the man behind the scenes
Knowing I was in above my head
For all that I could see
I never saw the truth
Now I’m alone
Heaven only knows how much I’m missing you
Knowing I had heaven in my hands
And there will be tears
Tears are mixed with rain
Keeper of my flame
Time and tide is on my side, it stands forever
There will be nights of love and yes there will be tears
I will not sleep tonight
There will be tears tonight
I will not sleep tonight
There will be tears
The silent telephone, the turning of the key
You’re still inside of me , I’m not ashamed
For all that I can do , I can’t forget your face
I call your name
Heaven only knows what I’ve been crying for , what I’m crying for
And all I’ve done to keep this love alive
Even through my tears
Tears are mixed with rain
Keeper of my flame
I will pray you’re on my side, we stand forever
There will be nights of love and yes there will be tears
I will not sleep tonight
There will be tears tonight
I will not sleep tonight
There will be tears
Soon there will be tears rollin’ down my world
Keeper of my flame
Time and tide is on my side, it stands forever
There will be nights of love and yes there will be tears
I will not sleep tonight. There will be tears tonight
I will not sleep tonight. There will be tears
I will not sleep tonight. There will be tears tonight
I will not sleep tonight. There will be tears
IN MY OWN TIME
***************
I received an invitation;
‘Come to the United Nations.’
That was when I was somebody.
In my own time.
Sitting selling hot cross buns,
Thousand suckers ev’ryone.
Sounds like a nurs’ry rhyme.
In my own time.
Even when the lights go out.
Still got things to think about.
Memories I can’t call mine.
In my own time.
My own time.
My own time.
