Shine Shine
Barry Gibb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The enemy fewer
And the love that I made was a symbol of the times
A celebration of the wine
I made a memory in you
I'll still be the reader of the letters you write
I'll never be lonely for the rest of my life
There's a corner in my heart
No, we can never be apart
No tomorrow
You be gone tomorrow
We can dance the night away
I can bestow to you all my love on your wedding day
Shine shine
For how much longer you'll be mine
There'll be no vows to be broken
You mean the world to me
Someone else that we both call love in your eyes
I believe together you'll shine
I was born to be with you on the day you were born
A beautiful angel with her face in the sun
She was searching for the moon in every sparkle in the spoon
You haven't changed
I'll still be the face in everybody you see
A light in the night if you need me to be
In every corner of the world
If any smile becomes a tear I will shelter you from the rain
No tomorrow
You be gone tomorrow
We can dance the night away
I can bestow to you all my love on your wedding day
Shine shine
For how much longer you'll be mine
There'll be no vows to be broken
You mean the world to me
Someone else that we both call love in your eyes
I believe together you'll shine
And I - I love you
There's no one else I place above you
Life is a road before you
And while he can show the way for you
My darling I will pray for you
Shine shine
For how much longer you'll be mine
There'll be no vows to be broken
You mean the world to me
Someone else that we both call love in your eyes
I believe together you'll shine
Shine shine
For how much longer you'll be mine
There'll be no vows to be broken
You mean the world to me
Someone else that we both call love in your eyes
I believe together you'll shine

I was the short black guy on the left in the final shot. We shot the video on the Phipps plantation in North Fl. Mr Gibb was so down to earth and friendly to all.

Whenever I think of who might be the best group in the last half century, I always come back to the BeeGees.

The Gibb Brothers, whether collectively as the Bee Gees or individually, were amazing songwriters and singers. Although they were criminally discriminated and ignored by the American media in the 80's, they still made wonderful music. Any song they wrote could well be a hit single.
