WHILE I PLAY
By
Bee Gees
***************
I cry tears of emotion to spread across the USA
Ain’t no sunshine cowboy in your pockets
I’ll make my own way , while I play
Baby you forgot your living
Someone covered up your eyes
In my way at least I’m giving what I love
Am I wise
There’s gonna be some confusion
And there’s gonna be a day
You’ll raise your eyes and you’ll look to the skies
And you’ll pray , while I play
I am my father’s son or that is what I heard
Maybe I got it wrong
I didn’t mean a word
You got my face and I’ll play your ace
Pretend I haven’t heard
There’s gonna be some confusion
And there’s gonna be a day
You’ll raise your eyes and you’ll look to the skies
And you’ll pray , while I play
I am a minstreal , that is all I want to be
I’ll play inside your soul
I’ll show you to yourself
Fill your head with wild emotions
A symphony in wealth
There’s gonna be some confusion
And there’s gonna be a day
You’ll raise your eyes and you’ll look to the skies
And you’ll pray , while I play
I will take my leave , I gotta move ontime
I played inside your soul , made you sing along
I will return to find out if the melody was wrong
There’s gonna be some confusion
And there’s gonna be a day
You’ll raise your eyes and you’ll look to the skies
And you’ll pray , while I play
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)
KILBURN TOWERS
***************
I am a bird; watch me go drifting by.
With my feathers of power I laugh as the hours go slowly by.
That could mean ev’rything.
I am a street watching the people walk.
As I listen their conversations glisten as they start to talk.
Then I hear ev’rything.
Little white jug, me and Kilburn Towers,
as we sit on the hill and we drink and we swill
till the early hours,
Then I am ev’rything.
Little white jug and me and Kilburn Towers
That could mean ev’rything.
Little white jug, me and Kilburn Towers,
as we sit on the hill and we drink and we swill
till the early hours,
Then I am ev’rything
Little white jug and me and Kilburn Towers
PAYING THE PRICE OF LOVE
***************
How did you find there was somebody
More than you want me
I never understood
Maybe I have never had you
I have been lonely for you lately
I can’t wait another day
And when you let me get you close to me
You run and leave me
Paying the price of love
The start of my end over you
When you’re doin’ it for someone
Who’ll never be free
Now is all there will ever be
No more to live without you
All the nights I dream about you
Deep in the dark of the night
I’m a man on a mission
But safer with you home
Never would I make you sorry
You are the only drug I crave
And I’ve been saving everyday
I held it all inside, I pray
You don’t forget you got me
Paying the price of love
My heart in my hands over you
But the battle is just not fair
You’ll never be free
That emotion is always replaying
You know the strongest heart
Is broken when it falls
You turn and walk away
And let it die
I got this picture in my head
Of you in someone else’s bed
And I am torn apart
I’m torn apart inside
I’ll build my world around you
I was nothing when I found you
Paying the price of love
Paying the price of love
The start of my end over you
When you’re doing it for someone
Who’ll never be free
Now is all there will ever be
Paying the price of love
My heart in my hands over you
But the battle is just not fair
You’ll never be free
That emotion is always replaying
CRYIN’ EVERY DAY
***************
I wasn’t born to be alone that was a lesson I was shown
To know that love was just a lie
I ran away to think it over
But it’s over and I try to take a stand on what is real
Someone has shown me how to feel
I’m like a shadow in the night
I’m like a river in an ocean
I’m a flame without a light
And now I’m cryin’ ev’ry day
And I’ve been cryin’ ev’ry day
And I been think’ of your love
I keep turnin’ I keep turnin’
I keep turnin’ I keep turnin’
Well your love is a cathedral and I came down here to pray
And now I’m cryin’ ev’ry day
Can there be any wonder why to be living under
love is a revelation only few can share
I could be a mountain strong but the pain about you
Long as I live without you
I would still be there
I wanna die, die away
Never love,never cry
And I been walkin’ in the rain
And I been hangin’ on a dream
All the faces and the places that our love has ever been
Now I’m cryin’ ev’ry day
And I been cryin’ ev’ry day
And I been thinkin’ of your love
I keep turnin’ , I keep turnin’
I keep turning’, I keep turnin’
Well your love is a cathedral and I came down here to pray
And now I’m cryin’ ev’ry day
Can there be any wonder why to be living under
love is a revelation only few can share
I could be a mountain strong but the pain about you
Long as I live without you I would still be there
I wanna die, die away
Never love, never cry
I wasn’t born to be a fool but I’m a fool to be around
I’m a man without a country I’m a King without a crown
And then you’re throwin’ me away
Another world , another time
But if anyone belongs to anybody you were mine
And I’m cryin’ ev’ry day
And I been cryin’ ev’ry day
And I’ve been thinkin’ of your love
I keep turnin’ I keep turnin’
I keep turnin’ I keep turning’
Well your love is a cathedral and I came down here to pray
And now I’m …
PROMISE THE EARTH
***************
It’s not worth one night on earth
Baby I know, baby I know
I won’t know whose lips you’re kissing
Baby I know
You don’t know what you have done
Baby I know, baby don’t go
You don’t know what you are missing
Baby and so
There’s not a sacrifice too strong
I’ve been alone for far too long
I’d be a fool to fail, I follow you
You must believe
Promise the earth
Give her the ocean
A kiss on the wind, goes straight to the heart
Promise the earth
With tears of emotion
If fate is a force that tears you apart
Please believe me, I would sell my soul for you
It’s not too late
And we can turn back the time
Baby I know
I lay down with you in dreams
Baby I know, baby don’t go
I was driven by this vision
Baby and so
If I could testify to you
Then I could prove my aim is true
If I am guilty or I’m innocent
You must believe
Promise the earth
Give her the ocean
A kiss on the wind, goes straight to the heart (baby believe)
Promise the earth
With tears of emotion
If fate is a force that tears you apart
You know I’m only human, so what am I supposed to say
‘Course I’m gonna miss you, and curse the day you went away
What I would surrender, if I could make you turn around
The world we’ve got together, forever is on solid ground
Oooh, baby don’t go
Baby don’t go
Baby don’t go
Baby
You’re part of every dream
Before the dawn
You must believe
Promise the earth
Give her the ocean
A kiss on the wind, goes straight to the heart (make her believe)
Promise the earth
With tears of emotion
If fate is a force that tears you apart
Baby believe
Promise the earth
Give her the ocean
A kiss on the wind, goes straight to the heart
Promise the earth
With tears of emotion
If fate is a force that tears you apart
Baby believe
Promise the earth
Promise the earth
Promise the earth
Promise the earth
You better believe
