Pulse's racing, darling,
How grand we are.
Little by little we meet in the middle.
There's danger in the dark.

It oughta be illegal
Make it a crime to be out in the cold.
It oughta be illegal
You got a reason for living.
You battle on with the love you're living on.

You gotta be mine.
We take it away.
It's gotta be night and day,
Just a matter of time.

And we got nothing to be guilty of.
Our love, will climb and mountain
Near or far, we are,
And we never let it end.

And we got nothing to be sorry for.
Our love, is one in a million.
Eyes can see, that we
Got a highway to the sky.

Don't want to hear goodbye.
Don't want to hear goodbye.
I don't want to hear your

And we got and we got nothing to be guilty of.
Our love, will climb and mountain
Near or far, we are,
And we never let it end.

And we got nothing to be sorry for.
Our love is one in a million.
Eyes can see, that we
Got a highway to the sky.
Don't want to hear,  goodbye.
Don't want to hear,  goodbye
I don't want to hear your

And we got nothing

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 »
