When He's Gone

About When He's Gone

"When He's Gone" is the first and only American single from the 1991 Bee Gees album High Civilization. Warner Bros. did nothing to promote the album or the single and neither charted in America, the first and only time a Bee Gees album failed to chart in America (It briefly appeared on the Cashbox singles chart rising to #86). The Bee Gees made two TV appearances in May, 1991 to promote the single. They appeared on Rick Dees' show Into the Night where they sang "When He's Gone" and "One" and on The Arsenio Hall Show they sang "When He's Gone" and "To Love Somebody". Two different B-sides were issued. In the United States, the song "True Confessions" was used, which was a song that was not included on the cassette versions of High Civilization. The B-side in the UK was live performance of "Massachusetts" done in Melbourne, Australia from their 1989 One For All Tour. more »

Stormy nights, I've been waiting
Satisfy you, oh yeah
But his love is just a game
And he's sellng you the same old lies

And I'm hangin' on the wire
And no closer to the fire
And you don't hear me when I cry

[Chorus:]
You may need someone to lean upon
When he's gone, when he's gone
And what is left is a love so strong
When he's gone, when he's gone
You wouldn't believe to what extent
My mind is going to
You wouldn't deny me in your dreams
You couldn't belong to someone else
If you could see me now
And I'd be the only one
When he's gone

My understanding that you remember
For whom the bell tolls, oh yeah
I swear to you I pray
That you feel the battle rage
For the saving of my soul

And it's a struggle to survive
You know it's keepin' us alive
And baby I don't wanna die

[Chorus]

I will be someone you lean upon
When he's gone, when he's gone
And what is left is a love so strong
When he's gone, when he's gone
I will be someone you lean upon
When he's gone, when he's gone

Don't tell me it's too late
And your love don't make me wait
I can see the end of time
With a love that makes you mine
And tonight I let you know
There's a love that won't let go

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 »
