He'd sing his song most ev'ry night 
Wishing she was there behind the light 
The people danced and sang along 
On the cardboard stage he never sang it wrong 

And the piper played the tune 
And the drummer wore his spurs 
But the song that the singer sang was for her 

Now the singer's song is never heard 
And the visions he once saw are disappeared 
Now they never dance or sing along 
But on the cardboard stage he never sang it wrong 

And the piper played the tune 
And the drummer wore his spurs 
But the song that the singer sang was for her 

Ah..........

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 »
