MORE THAN A WOMAN
By
Bee Gees
***************
Oh, girl I’ve known you very well
I’ve seen you growing everyday
I never really looked before
but now you take my breath away.
Suddenly you’re in my life
part of everything I do
you got me working day and night
just trying to keep a hold on you.
Here in your arms I found my paradise
my only chance for happiness
and if I lose you now I think I would die.
Oh say you’ll always be my baby
we can make it shine, we can take forever
just a minute at a time.
More than a woman, more than a woman to me
more than a woman, more than a woman to me
more than a woman, oh, oh, oh.
There are stories old and true
of people so in love like you and me
and I can see myself
let history repeat itself.
Reflecting how I feel for you
thinking about those people then
I know that in a thousand years
I’d fall in love with you again.
This is the only way that we should fly
this is the only way to go
and if I lose you I know I would die.
Oh say you’ll always be my baby
we can make it shine, we can take forever
just a minute at a time.
More than a woman, more than a woman to me
more than a woman, more than a woman to me
more than a woman, oh, oh, oh.
SONGBIRD
***************
Go on with your song, bird – you can’t go wrong bird
You will go on and on, bird, like you did before
Though your wings are broken the sky is so wide open
And the wind is waiting for you like an open door
Though you go so far away, your voice will still be heard so well
You’ll never really ever know how beautiful you are
When the moon is on the rise I’ll try to make my songbird fly
I wonder if he ever will – and if he really did, how far
Go on with your song, bird – you can’t go wrong bird
You will go on and on, bird, like you did before
Though your wings are broken the sky is so wide open
And the wind is waiting for you like an open door
Though you go so far away, your voice will still be heard so well
You’ll never really ever know how beautiful you are
When the moon is on the rise I’ll try to make my songbird fly
I wonder if he ever will – and if he really did, how far
Go on with your song, bird – you can’t go wrong bird
You will go on and on, bird, through the open door
Go on with your song, bird – you can’t go wrong my bird
You will go on and on, bird, like you did before
Like you did befo
I COULD NOT LOVE YOU MORE
***************
Now that we’re alone no more hide and seek
You are the highest dream to me and as you softly sleep
Then I can tell you what it means
Locked in my arms like lovers lie
I will not let you slip away
Is this the summer of them all, is this my night of nights
That you came to stay
Here you are, owner of my heart
Just the way that love should be
And there is something I must say to you
If you promise to believe that it’s you I’m living for
And I could not love you more
Seasons may come and season go
But these are the truest words I know
Face to face, eye to eye
This is the summer of our lives
One love that cannot die
Here you are, owner of my soul
Never let you say goodbye
And there is something I must say to you
We leave the world outside
And you have come to me at last, we start
Open up your heart, let my deepest love inside
I’m only doing what I have to do
If you promise to believe that it’s you I’m living for
And I could not love you more
CLOSER THAN CLOSE
***************
She’ll read your mind, she’s smart as a whip
She’ll suck you dry, but look at how much I drip
At the point of ecstasy I write a symphony
Of poetry in motion and leavin me there to die
I tell myself let no one take her place
To confide in someone and look at how much I paid
I want you next to me, call it telepathy
We drift into vision and look how much we see
Ah….ah….
I just want to get closer than close to you
To the moment you discover
What the best of my love can do
And lovers fall for lovers friends
We make each other cry
Living in each others lives
And trying to make the fantasy come true
But, I just want to get closer than close to you, baby
I just want to get closer than close to you
Your soul is naked it tells you what it wants
I read your letter and look at how close I’ve come
There’s more for us to see in this philosophy
We both end up in heaven
And look at how close we’d be
Ah…ah…
I just want to get closer than close to you
I know that one way or another
Any test of my fate will do
I give my heart for you to break
I give my final breath
When nothing lasts forever see
What we can turn eternity into
And I just want to get closer than close to you, baby
I just want to get closer than close to you
WEDDING DAY
***************
We both acknowledge what we came here for
We take each other and walk through the open door
From the first time that I saw you
To the way you look tonight
I was shaken by your spirit
I was blinded by your light
And the world that I used to see is gone without a trace
Replaced by your eyes and the smile upon your face
And I will not turn away
‘Cause you might disappear
I was haunted by your heart
And I felt that you were here
And funny when the time is right
When lightning strikes
You’re not alone
Baby, I will pray for you my whole life through
This day
We’ll be together
Husband and wife
Now and forever
The rest of our lives
Well, take me to Heaven
Take me tonight
There is nothing words can say
On this our wedding day
Oh, now is the hour, now is the sowing of the seed
I will take tomorrow
I will lay it at your feet
And the two of us escape from the sadness of the world
From the thunder and the darkness
From the hunger and the hurt
You know I will remember well the mission bell
That rings your name
And baby there could never be
A memory like you
We’ll be together
Husband and wife
Now and forever
Lovers for life
Well, take me to Heaven
Take me tonight
There is nothing words can say
On this our wedding day
This is my pledge to you
I will follow through to the end
And we will find another plane
We’ll be home again
And tonight I’m going to find true love, true love
We’ll be together
Husband and wife
Now and forever
Lovers for life
Well, take me to Heaven
Take me tonight
There is nothing words can say
On this our wedding day
This our wedding day
PLEASE DON’T TURN OUT THE LIGHTS
***************
Ev’rytime I need reality, in jeopardy of losing all of me
I just am not stronger, life don’t last so long , so baby,
If your turned out the light, if you turned out the light,
Please don’t turn out the light, please don’t turn out the light
Turn out the lights
Baby, I don’t feel too reliable
I can only do what I’m liable, but if you want to leave me
Love me and just leave me, baby;
If you turned out the light, if you turned out the light
Please don’t turn out the light, please don’t turn out the light
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
