So this is who I am
And this is all I know
And I must choose to live
For all that I can give
The spark that makes the power grow

But I will stand for one dream if I can
Symbol of my faith in who I am
But you are my only

And I must follow on the road that lies ahead
I won't let my heart control my head
But you are my only

And we don't say goodbye
We don't say goodbye
And I know what I've got to be

Immortality
I make my journey through eternity
I keep the memory of you and me
Inside

Fulfill your destiny
It's there within the child
My storm will never end
My fate is on the wind
The king of hearts
The joker's wild

We don't say goodbye
We don't say goodbye
I'll make them all remember me

'Cause I have found the dream that must come true
Every ounce of me must see it through
But you are my only

I'm sorry I don't have the role for love to play
Hand over my heart I'll find my way
I will make them give to me

Immortality
There is a vision and a fire in me
I keep the memory of you and me
Inside

And we don't say goodbye
We don't say goodbye

In all my love for you
And what else we may do
We don't say goodbye

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 »
