I was so lonely without you baby, don't know what I'm gonna do 
I'm goin' crazy without you baby, look at what I'm goin' through 
How many times must I tell you I love 
Tell you I love you times before 
Don't believe that I'm worth all your kisses 
I'm worth more then this , but you ignore 

How many birds will I see high and flying 
How many birds will it take till I get you 
I will be crying, yeah 

Maybe tomorrow you'll come walkin' my way 
Come talkin' my way , you'll find out 
My love for you will be stronger then truer 
I'll look at you and there's no doubt 

How many birds will I see high and flying 
How many birds will it take till I get you 
I will be crying, yeah 

I was so lonely without you baby, don't know what I'm gonna do 
I'm going crazy without you baby, look at what I'm goin' through 
Baby, baby, baby 
My love, until the day we say auf wiedersehen

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 »
