The Very Best of the Bee Gees

Bee Gees The Very Best of the Bee Gees Lyrics
1.New York Mining Disaster 1941

In the event of something happening to me,
there is something I would like you all to see.
It's just a photograph of someone that I new.

Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones.

I keep straining my ears to hear a sound.
Maybe someone is digging underground,
or have they given up and all gone home to bed,
thinking those who once existed must be dead.

Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones.

In the event of something happening to me,
there is something I would like you all to see.
It's just a photograph of someone that I knew.

Hvae you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones.


2.To Love Somebody

There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to lived with you
Lived with you
There's a way everybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain't got you, ain't got ?
You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like

To love somebody
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

There's brain
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And I'm blind, so very blind
I'm a man, can't you see
What I am
I live and breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you, ain't got ?


3.Massachusetts

Feel I'm goin' back to Massachusetts,
Something's telling me I must go home.
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
The day I left her standing on her own.

Tried to hitch a ride to San Francisco,
Gotta do the things I wanna do.
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
They brought me back to see my way with you.

Talk about the life in Massachusetts,
Speak about the people I have seen,
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
And Massachusetts is one place I have seen.

I will remember Massachusetts...
























4.World

(Chorus)
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?

(chorus...)

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?

(chorus...)
And (chorus...)
And (chorus...)
And (chorus...)


5.Words

Smile an everlasting smile, a smile can bring you near to me.
Don't ever let me find you down, cause that would bring a tear
to me.
This world has lost its glory, let's start a brand new story
now, my love.
Right now, there'll be no other time and I can show you how, my
love.

Talk in everlasting words, and dedicate them all to me.
And I will give you all my life, I'm here if you should call to
me.
You think that I don't even mean a single word I say.
It's only words, and words are all I have, to take your heart
away.


6.I've gotta get a message to you

The preacher talked to me and he smiled.
He said,come and walk with me. Come and walk one more mile.
Now for once in your life you've alone.
But you ain't got a dime.There's no time for the phone.
I've just gotta get a message to you.Hold on hold on.
One more hour and my life will be through.Hold on hold on.
I've told him I'm in no hurry.But if I broke her heart then.
Won't you tell her I'm sorry.And for one in my life,I'm alone.
And I've gotta let her know.Just in time before I go.
Hold on hold on.Well,I laughed but that didn't hurt.
But it's only her love that keeps me wearing this dirt.
Now,I'm crying but deep down inside.
Well,I did it to him...Now it's my turn to die.
I've just gotta get a message to you.Hold on hold on.
One more hour and my life will be through.Hold on hold on.
One more hour and my life will be through.Hold on hold on.
I've just gotta get a message to you.Hold on hold on.


7.First of may

When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
we used to love while others used to play.
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
some one else moved in from far away.

(chorus)
Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
and you don't ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never die,
but guess we'll cry come first of May.

The apple tree that grew for you and me,
I watched the apples falling one by one.
And I recall the moment of them all,
the day I kissed your cheek and you were gone.

(chorus...)

When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
do do do do do do do do do...


8.Don't Forget To Remember

Oh my heart won't believe that you have left me
I keep telling my self that it's true
I can get over anything you want my love
But I can't get myself over you

Don't forget to remember me
And the love that used to be
I still remember you
I love you
In my heart lies a memory to tell the stars above
Don't forget to remember me my love

On my wall lies a photograph of you girl
Though I try to forget you somehow
You're the mirror of my soul so take me out of my hole
Let me try to go on living right now

Don't forget to remember me
And the love that used to be
I still remember you
I love you
In my heart lies a memory to tell the stars above
Don't forget to remember me my love


9.Saved By the Bell

I cried for you, I cried for you
I cried for two, I lied for you

Saved by the bell on your own carousel
Now who can tell, if you'll love that man as well
Now I'll walk down our great lane

I died for you, I died for two
I'll live for you, I'll give to you

Saved by the bell on your own carousel
Now who can tell, if you'll love that man as well
Now I'll walk down our great lane
Now I'll walk down our great lane
Now I'll walk down our great lane


10.RUN TO ME


If ever you're got rain in your heart.
Someone has hurt you and tom you apart.
Am I unwise to open up ypur eyes to love me.
And let it be like they said it would be.
Me loving you girl and you loving me.
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me.


Run to me, when ever you're lonely.
Run to me, if you need a shoulder.
Now and then you'll need someone older.
So darling, you run to me.

So darling, you run to me.


And when you're out in the cold.
No one beside you and no one to hold.
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me.
And when you've got nothing to lose.
Nothing to pay for and nothing to choose.
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me.


Run to me, when ever you're lonely.
Run to me, if you need a shoulder.
Now and then you'll need someone older.
So darling, you run to me.


Run to me, when ever you're lonely.
Run to me, if you need a shoulder.
Now and then you'll need someone older.
So darling, you run to me.

12.Nights On Broadway

Here we are in the room full of strangers,
Standing in the dark where your eyes couldn't see me

Well, I have to follow you
Though you didn't want me to.
But that won't stop my lovin' you
I can't stay away

Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them love songs,
Singin' them straight to the heart songs.
Blamin' it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them sweet sounds
To that crazy, crazy town.

Now in my place
There are so many others
Standin' in the line;
How long will they stand between us?

Well, I have to follow you
Though you didn't want me to.
But that won't stop my lovin' you
I can't stay away

Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them love songs,
Singin' them straight to the heart songs.
Blamin' it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them sweet sounds
To that crazy, crazy town.

I will wait,
even if it takes forever;
I will wait,
even if it takes a life time.
Somehow I feel inside
You never ever left my side.
Make it like it was before
Even if it takes a life time, takes a life time.

Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them love songs,
Singin' them straight to the heart songs.
Blamin' it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them sweet sounds
To that crazy, crazy town.

14.How Deep Is Your Love

I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again
Then you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love
Then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love

Chorus

How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest darkest hour
You're my saviour when I fall
And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love

Chorus
































15.More than a woman

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.


16.Stayin' alive

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man:no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around
since I was born.
And now it's all right. It's OK.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
the New York Time's effect on man.

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin',
and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.

Well now, I get low and I get high,
and if I can't get either, I really try.
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes.
I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose.
You know it's all right. It's OK.
I'll live to see another day.
We can try to understand
the New York Time's effect on man.

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin',
and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.

Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me yeah. Stayin' alive.

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man: no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around

And you may look the other way.

17.Night Fever

Listen to the ground,
there is movement all around,
there is something going down
and I can feel it.

On the waves of the air,
there is dancing out there.
If it's something we can share,
we can steal it.

And the sweet city woman,
she moves through the light,
controlling my mind and my soul.

When you reach out for me, yeah,
and the feeling is bright.

Then I get night fever, night fever.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that night fever, night fever.
We know how to show it.

Here I am,
praying for this moment to last,
living on the music so fine,
borne on the wind,
making it mine.

Night fever, night fever.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that night fever, night fever.
We know how to show it.


18.Too Much Heaven

* Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by, I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love any more
It's as high (wide) as a mountain (river) and harder to climb *

Oh, you and me, girl, got a lot of love in store
And it flows through you and it flows through me
And I love you so much more than my life
I can see beyond forever
Everything we are will never die

** Loving's such a beautiful thing
Oh, you make my world a summer day
Are you just a dream to fade away **

(Repeat *)

Oh, you and me, girl, got a highway to the sky
We can turn away from the night and day
And the tears we had to cry, you're my life
I can see a new tomorrow
Everything we are will never die
Loving's such a beautiful thing
When you are to me the light above
There for all to see our precious love

(Repeat * and ** then * to fade)


19.Tragedy

Here I lie
in a lost and lonely part of town
Held in time
In a world of tears I slowly drown
Goin'home
I just can't make it all alone
I really should be holding you
Holding you
Loving you loving you

Tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no-one to love you you're
goin' nowhere
Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no-one beside you you're
goin' nowhere
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on

Night and day
there's a burning down inside of me
Burning love
With a yearning that won't let me be
Down I go
and I just can't take it all alone
I really should be holding you
Holding you
Loving you loving

Tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no-one to love you you're
goin' nowhere
Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no-one beside you you're
goin' nowhere (repeat and fade)


20.You win again

I couldn't figure why
You couldn't give me what everybody needs
I shouldn't let you kick me when I'm down
My baby I find out everybody knows that
You've been using me
I'm surprised you let me stay round you
One day I'm gonna lift the cover
And look inside your heart
We gotta level before we go
And tear this love apart

There's no fight you can't fight
This battle of love with me

You win again so little time
We do nothing but compete
There's no life on the earth
No other could see me through
You win again some never try
But if anybody can, we can
And I'll be, I'll be following you
Oh, girl

Oh baby I shake you from now on
I'm gonna break down your defences one by one
I'm gonna hit you from all sides
Lay your fortress open wide
Nobody stops this body from taking you
You better beware, I swear
I'm gonna be there one day when you fall
I can never let you cast aside
The greatest love of all


21.Ordinary Lives

There'll be one small light
all over the world tonight.
The search go on for the one,
it was love with no name
and we glowed in the sun.
There was one small dream
incredible highs and lows,
what little we knew living ordinary lives.
Made a dream for you, living ordinary lives.

Spoken: Ordinary people living ordinary lives.
Ordinary people living ordinary lives.

We were be one small light
all over the world tonight.
The search go on for the one,
it was love with no name
and we glowed in the sun.
There was one small dream
incredible highs and lows,
what little we knew living ordinary lives.
Made a dream for you, living ordinary lives.

We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.
We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.

Spoken: The clock on the wall keeps moving,
time stands still,
no matter how the dice may fall,
someone else always gets to call the number.

Say goodbye cruel world
No pity no pain tonight
Whatever the cost all is lost
If this is love with no name
Then it's all in the stars
Whether it's wrong or right
There's no one to blame no lies
What else could we do
Living ordinary lives
Made a dream for you
Living ordinary lives.
