I walk the lonely streets
I watch the people passing by
I used to smile and say hello
Yes, I was just a happy guy

Then you happened, girl
This feeling that possesses me
I just can't move myself
I guess it all just had to be

I can't see nobody
No, I can't see nobody
My eyes can only look at you
You

I used to have a brain
I used to think of many things
I watched the falling rain
And listened to the sweet bird sing

Don't ask me why, little girl
I love you and that's all I can say
You're every, every breath that I take
You are my nights, my night and day

I can't see nobody
No, I can't see nobody
My eyes can only look at you
You

Every single word you hear, girl 
Is coming from this heart of mine 
I've never felt like this before 
A love like yours, so young and fine

And now as I try to forget you 
It doesn't work out anyway 
I loved you such a long time ago 
Though in my eyes you'll always stay 
Every single word you hear 
Is coming from this heart of mine 
I loved you such a long time ago

Don't know why, girl I don't know why 
(Baby, such a long time)
(Baby, such a long time)
(Baby, such a long time)

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 »
