You know a love so fine, so high above, 
Goes on forever but the road is rough, 
Reaching for another as truth will show, 
Try to live without it but you can't let go. 
  
We don't talk about it, we got no doubt, 
We can love each other when the lights go out. 
I got nobody, my bird has flown, 
Anyone can see I'm walking alone, 
Walking alone. 
  
In your quiet moments, in your silent prayer, 
I'll be with you baby, I'll be there. 
In your darkest hour, on your longest night, 
I'll be with you baby, 
Make it right 
On your longest night. 
  
You know it breaks my heart and it hurts my pride 
To know I lost you to the world outside. 
Feelings when you touch me they rise and fall, 
Try to live without it ain't no love at all. 
  
We don't talk about it but somebody knows, 
We can love each other when the candle glows. 
Open my eyes and the moment is gone, 
Anyone can see I'm walking alone, 
Walking alone. 
  
In your darkest hour, on your longest night, 
I'll be with you baby, 
Make it right. 
  
Nobody cries, 
Nobody cries, cries 
For the pain I feel. 
Nobody knows, nobody knows 
And it makes me want to die. 
  
In your quiet moments, in your silent prayer, 
I'll be with you baby, I'll be there. 
In your darkest hour, on your longest night, 
I'll be with you baby, 
Make it right 
On your longest night

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 »
