TELL ME WHY
By
Bee Gees
***************
And if you think that you can hurt me with lies that cry
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Now I’ve got my reasons for feeling this way
Day after day and as nights go by
So, if you think my heart is broken and I might die
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
All of the world is as lonely as me
Day after day and as nights go by
So if you think my heart is broken and I might die
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
WISH YOU WERE HERE
***************
You’re living your life
in somebody else’s heart
My love is as strong
as oceans are far apart.
A summer song keeps playing in my brain,
and I feel you, and I see your face again,
there’s no escape,
I lost everything in losing you.
Ah I wish you were here,
drying these tears I cry
They were good times,
and I wish you were here
and calling my name,
but you’re dealing with a man insane, the cost,
how hopelessly I’m lost,
I tried to throw our love away
and I can’t let go.
And so I awake
In somebody else’s dream
(It’s not what it seems)
it’s only a lie
I’ve yet to decide who’s real.
The blood red rose will never never die
It’ll burn like a flame
In the dark of the night
I’m not afraid
I’d give everything
If you hear me there.
Ahh I wish you were here,
drying these tears I cry
They were good times,
it’s that time of year
for being alone
but you’re dealing with a heart of stone
try to kiss and say goodbye
try to throw our love away
And that storm will blow.
Wish you were here.
Wish you were here,
‘Cause you’re dealing with a heart of stone
try to kiss and say goodbye
try to throw our love away
And I can’t let go.
They were good times
and I wish you were here,
yes, I wish you were here.
SECRET LOVE
***************
When do I cry
This breakin’ heart
Just hurts me more
When we’re apart
And there are two of us
With our secret love
Sleep pretty baby while you wait so long
Livin’ with a love that’s not just make believe
Lonely nights, I see your candle glow
And in my mind, I trace
Together we can take away
The time and the space
Baby when you got a secret love
Every little touch is not enough
Every little moment we’re apart is pain to me
Maybe we can find some hideaway
Everybody knows but who can say
Secretly you know I’d follow
Anywhere to make you happy
Anyway you want me I’ll be standing by
I don’t wanna lose the one I hunger for
Naked eyes, they watch us everywhere
Nowhere to run, I cry
Everything to lose and no alibi
Baby when you got a secret love
Nothin’ you can do but rise above
Secretly you know I’d follow
Anywhere to make you happy
When do I cry
This breakin’ heart
Just hurts me more
When we’re apart
And there are two of us
With our secret love (together we can take away the time and the space)
SEARCH, FIND
***************
Don’t let the day keep movin’ on with tears and pride
they hide the sun
Look to the road that lies ahead
I’m turning to the dream we left to die
Dying alone, cry for the moment you passed me by
Baby I don’t now how , I’m only crying now
Search find
No stone unturned, no hell, no fury gonna stop my love and all it’s glory
Search find, no man, no god ,no pain can sever my love for you
God, we’re forever
Don’t lose the will to make it right
A day is just a brighter night
And from the flames , a dying love can learn to fly
and rise above to be all that we are
You are the heart of my ev’rything
Maybe I lose my mind , I’m not the losing kind
Search find
No stone unturned, no hell, no fury gonna stop my love and all it’s glory
Search find, no man, no god, no pain can sever my love for you
God, we’re forever
Search find
No stone unturned, no hell, no fury gonna stop my love and all it’s glory
Search find
No man, no god, no pain can sever my love for you
God , we’re forever
SMOKE AND MIRRORS
***************
When I was a boy all the books I read
I followed like a blind man
To heed the words my father said
Those golden summers fade into night, words become a dream
The echoes of my childhood and where the path is winding
May God bless you, keep you safe from all harm
I stand by you always
Time and motion hands touch
Lips find a way to heaven on high
Watch the children play, the child becomes a man
And all the tangled webs we weave
You swear it as we live and breath
We stay together death until you part
Winner takes the prize
The futures at your finger tips, right before your eyes
No more sorrow (smoke and mirrors)
No more nights with no end
(I really learned a lot, smoke and mirrors)
I see my tomorrows
And nothing from nothing
And ashes to ashes they say
All the more that you reach out
The more that it runs away
(Smoke and mirrors)
No more goodbyes
(That’s all I ever got, smoke and mirrors)
No lies, you find your way there
(She show me what she’s got, smoke and mirrors)
Heaven on high
May god bless you keep you safe from all harm
I stand by you always
Time and motion
(smoke and mirrors)
Hands touch, lips find a way to
(That’s all I ever got, smoke and mirrors)
Heaven on high
No more sorrow
(I really learned a lot, smoke and mirrors)
No more nights with no end
(She show me what she’s got, smoke and mirrors)
I rise or I fall
no more goodbyes
(She really makes me hot, smoke and mirrors)
No lies, you find a way there
Heaven on high
DON’T WANT TO LIVE INSIDE MYSELF
***************
I am the searcher of my fortunes
I’ve got my right hand on the wheel
We’ve got to dig for buried treasures
I know exactly how I feel
I went walkin’thru a grave – yard
Where the darkness is my friend
I heard all about the beginning
I wanna see just where it ends
I have fed the jaded tiger
And every tiger knows my name
But just as long as long as I can see my face
I can tell myself my name
Don’t want to live inside myself
I’m much better of alone
But then you must believe in the fallin’rain
In the morning
Bury me down by the river
Saved by the bell
Man for all seasons
