PLEASE DON’T TURN OUT THE LIGHTS
By
Bee Gees

***************

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

I DON’T WANNA BE THE ONE

***************

It’s too late to turn back now
There ain’t no space back there
And how did I begin to lose my self control
How did I begin to lose my self control

There ain’t a thing that you could give me
With the love forever with me
That’s the only thing that satisfies my soul
That’s the only thing that satisfies my soul

I don’t wanna be the one
Remember it was only fun
Two strangers touching in the sun, it had to end
I don’t wanna be the guy to tell you things that make you cry
You know as well as I know , you’re my only friend

There ain’t a thing that you could give me
With the love forever with me
That’s the only thing that satisfies my soul
That’s the only thing that satisfies my soul

I don’t wanna be the one
Remember it was only fun
Two strangers touching in the sun, it had to end
I don’t wanna be the guy to tell you things that make you cry
You know as well as I know ,you’re my only friend

I don’t wanna be the guy to tell you things that make you cry
You know as well as I know you’re my only friend
You know as well as I know you’re my only friend
You’re my only friend
My only friend
My only friend

THE ONLY LOVE

***************

I can relate
The story of my life
No brighter hope
No stronger emotion
I believed I could die over you
How you could ever
Break down and never see me through
Through my darkest night

And as I lie awake
One prayer within me burning
And there’s no price on what you hold
Till it’s gone
And it keeps moving on

Where is my heart
You know I will be waiting to be
A part of you
You’ll never feel the pain
How can you say to me
That I should go on living
I left the only life I had with you
The only love
No use in me pretending to be
A part of you
And you the heart of me
How can you say to me
That I should go on living
I left the only life I had with you

So we agree
To let each other go
No long goodbye
Just your way and my way
And I can stand how you cried to be free
High as the wind blows
But not enough to bring you home to me
And only lonely knows

You see my open arms
You know my flame is burning
But I’m too blind to see the end has begun
And it keeps movin’ on

The only love
No use in me pretending to be
A part of you
And you the heart of me
How can you say to me
That I should go on living
I left the only life I had with you

The only love
One love that will not die
I may sorry that I built my
World around you
The only love
Is only you and I
There will be others who would
Leave you as I found you

TURNING TIDE

***************

What would I say if you should turn away from me
I do not know if there are words that I can see
I only know that I am reaching too high
And who are we to touch the wind
and say our ship is coming in
The turning tide

Tell me the answer in your changing mind, changing mind
I don’t know if love can last

When time is gone and we are on the roundabout
Would you still laugh and be a clown when love runs out
Or will you say that I am reaching too high
And who are we to touch the wind
and say our ship is coming in
The turning tide

And who are we to touch the the wind
and say our ship is coming in
The turning tide

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

CHILDREN OF THE WORLD

***************

We are children of the world – watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life – keeps us all anticipating
We are searchers of the truth, every man’s a boy deep down
Gotta say it how you mean it – there ain’t no easy way

Like a bird in the wind, like a tree in the storm
Like the breath of a child from the moment he’s born
To the very last day when the curtains are drawn
We are children of the world – asking every question why
From arrival to survival – just to make it worth the waiting
We are faces in the night – watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life – there ain’t no easy way

In the back of your mind there is always a mark
There’s a wandering solo alone in the dark
You can keep it forever or tear it apart

We are children of the world – watching every day go by
Changing my life, changing your life – keeps us all anticipating

We are children of the world – watching every day go by
Like a bird in the wind, like a tree in the storm
Like the breath of a child from the moment he’s born
Till the very last day when the curtains are drawn
We are children of the world – watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life – keeps us all anticipating

We are children of the world – watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life – keeps us all anticipating
