MY LIFE HAS BEEN A SONG
By
Bee Gees
***************
Sweet simple song of diff’rent lights and diff’rent shades
The sound of life erupts and fades and all the world must play along
My life has been a song
Here as I sleep, the love I dream will gently creep
Inside my heart I softly keep the tune that plays too long
My life has been a song
Ev’ry sound in my head, ev’ry word that I said is like a melody melody
That no little person like me could ever change
Ev’ry sound in the street , all the cold and the heat
is like a symphony symphony
Which has never before been rearranged
Sweet simple song of diff’rent lights and diff’rent shades
The sound of life erupts and fades and all the world must play along
My life has been a song
Ev’ry sound in my head , ev’ry word that I said is like a melody melody
That no little person like me could ever change
Ev’ry sound in the street , all the cold and the heat
is like a symphony symphony
Which has never before been rearranged
Sweet simple song of diff’rent lights and diff’rent shades
The sound of life erupts and fades and all the world must play along
My life has been a song
Ev’ry sound in my head , ev’ry word that I said is like a melody melody
That no little person like me could ever change
Ev’ry sound in the street , all the cold and the heat
is like a symphony symphony
Which has never before been rearranged
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
WE LOST THE ROAD
***************
We must have lost the road
Don’t you think it’s getting late
Maybe if it’s colder we can stop and wait
We must have lost the words
All the little things we said
And now the world is frozen only you in my mind
Oh ,we lost the road
Oh, we lost the road
Oh, we lost the road
Oh, we lost the road
We must have lost the tune
Where did I step out of line
I’ll search for the melody that calls you mine
Oh, we lost the road
Oh, we lost the road
Oh, we lost the road
Oh, we lost the road
FLESH AND BLOOD
***************
I’m not that someone who’s got what you want
I can do nothing but watch what you do
You just want someone to kiss you good night
But lips are never enough to get you through
You stole my nights and you got your way
Now you got me dying inside , oh baby
Ebony don’t walk out on me
Listen to what I say
Pick up the pieces of my life into the night of day
How do you break this heart of steel
Nobody ever could
Open the pages of my life
I’m only flesh and blood
I’ll be your Savior but baby I swear
I’m not living my life over you
Some satisfaction you get if you dare
But is it ever enough to get you through
You stole my mind and you watch me fall
Now you leave the scene of the crime,oh no
Ebony don’t walk out on me
I never thought you could
I’m only what you make of me
I’m only flesh and blood
I’m only flesh and blood
When you’re gone , you’ll be leaving behind,
a broken man with something to hide
Oh, lost in the night in a town without pity
You learn how to cry. You learn how to cry
Ebony don’t walk out on me
Listen to what I say
Pick up the pieces of my life into the night of day
How do you break this heart of steel
Nobody ever could
Open the pages of my life
I’m only flesh and blood
Gone are the days that came and went
Houses are made of wood
Live in a world of sand and stone
I’m only flesh and blood
Ebony don’t walk out on me
I never thought you could
I’m only what you make of me
I’m only flesh and blood
SPICKS AND SPECKS
***************
Where is the sun
That shone on my head
The sun in my life
It is dead
it is dead
Where is the light
That would play
In my streets
And where are the friends
I could meet
I could meet
Where are the girls
I left all behind
The spicks and the specks
Of the girls on my mind
Where is the sun
That shone on my head
The sun in my life
It is dead
it is dead
Where are the girls
I left all behind
The spicks and the specks
Of the girls on my mind
Where is the girl I loved
all along
The girl that I loved
she’s gone
she’s gone
All of my life
I call yesterday
The spicks and the specks
of my life ‘ve gone away
All of my life
I call yesterday
The spicks and the specks
of my life ‘ve gone away
Spicks and Specks!
WORLD
***************
Now, I found, that the world is round
and of course it rains everyday.
Living tomorrow, where in the world will I be tomorrow?
How far am I able to see?
Or am I needed here?
If I remember all of the things I have done,
I’d remember all of the times I’ve gone wrong.
Why do they keep me here?
And
And
And
