Just my dog and I
At the edge of the universe.
Well, I didn't want to bring her 
And I know it'll make her worse.

Now I look out on forever
And it must be nice down there.
And they call me Shenandora in the air.

Well, I'm ten feet tall, 
But I'm only three feet wide.
And I live inside an ocean that flows
On the other side.

If I came back down tomorrow,
Would it all be far too soon?
And it looks like it's gonna be a lovely afternoon.

I thought that I was going home,
And all the way I kept on prayin'.
I couldn't stop to turn around;
Well, here I am and here I'm stayin'.

It's been my longest journey 
And I've come through the black of night.
I was tired and hungry
When I saw your distant light.

Well, I know this may sound crazy,
But I'm sure I got here first.
I'm just me, Shenandora,
At the edge of the universe. 

I thought that I was going home,
And all the way I kept on prayin'.
I couldn't stop to turn around;
Well, here I am and here I'm stayin'.

Just my dog and I
At the edge of the universe.
Well, I didn't want to bring her 
And I know it'll make her worse.

Now I look out on forever
And it must be nice down there.
And they call me Shenandora in the air.

At the edge of the universe... (repeat 1000 times and relax, you're in heaven)

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 »
