About One

"One" is the second international single (and lead single in the U. S.) from the Bee Gees' album, One. This was the song that returned the Bee Gees to American radio and would turn out to be their biggest US hit in the 1980s, and their last hit single to reach the US top ten. It was their first Top 10 hit since "Love You Inside Out" was #1 in June 1979. It peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in September 1989, and it stayed in the Top 40 for ten weeks. It also topped the American adult contemporary chart that same month, remaining at number one for two weeks. The track reached No. 71 in the UK Singles Chart.

I feel my heartbeat
When you run your fingers through my hair
(Yeah) I can feel you,
I can feel you by my side when you're not there
(Yeah) Just as my life fades to darkness
You you make me see the light
Show me that my search is over
I pay the price, I pay the price

Tell you someday baby, you and I should be one, one
Do it always, brighter than the eye can see, we hide the sun

The taste of love is sweeter like honey on the vine,
Like the wind that feeds the fire, two souls become entwined
Someday baby you and I should be one, one

So I'm standing 'round this corner
Tall enough to touch the New York sky, oh yes
My love is so blind
I just cannot hear or see the world go by, oh yes
Someone can love so completely
One kiss should break the sea
Truth can be stranger than fiction
This love is real
This love is real

Tell you someday baby, you and I should be one, one
Do it always, brighter than the eye can see, we hide the sun

Ah we are one, we are one

I will follow
Count on me, I'll never let you down, oh yes
My devotion
If love is like an ocean I'll surely drown, oh yes
You'll be my only possession
I'll be a slave to you
We hold the power together
Just me and you
Just me and you

Tell you someday baby, you and I should be one, one
Do it always, brighter than the eye can see, we hide the sun
Tell you someday baby, you and I should be one, one

(You know my life is in your hands,
And every breath you take is planned
And all this love goes on forever)

Tell you someday Baby, you and I should be one, one
Do it always baby, you and I should be one, one
Do it someday baby, you and I should be one, one
Do it always baby, you and I should be one, one
Do it someday baby, you and I should be one, one
Do it always baby, you and I should be one, one

Bee Gees

The Bee Gees were a musical group founded in 1958. The group's line-up consisted of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were successful for most of their decades of recording music, but they had two distinct periods of exceptional success: as a pop act in the late 1960s/early 1970s, and as prominent performers of the disco music era in the late 1970s. The group sang three-part tight harmonies that were instantly recognisable; Robin's clear vibrato lead was a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the late 1970s and 1980s. The brothers wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists. more »
