And the rain will fall, it falls for you. 
And the clouds will break into tears, 
You should be here standing so near to me.

'Cept I know you should be sad 
But give me time alone to get it out of my mind. 
Though say I know it's only the weather. 
'Cause every time it rains you are gone. 
And I'm blue. 
Then I wake up, then I wake up. 

And the sun will shine if just for you. 
And the trees will talk to the skies, whispering lies, 
Heaven will pass to me, yeah. 
Trains walk by and the birds disappear. 
Oh! Why am I still here without you by my side. 
So I cry your name and love, 
The thought to me is back and how near.
Then I wake up, then I grow up. 

And the rain will fall. 
It falls for you. 
And the clouds will break 
It should be near. 
And the sun will shine 
If just for you 
And the love

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 »
