Words
Bee Gees(비지스) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Smile an everlasting smile
A smile can bring you near to me
Don't ever let me find you gone
'Cause that would bring a tear to me

This world has lost it's glory
Let's start a brand new story
Now my love, right now
There'll be no other time
And I can show you how, my love

Talk in everlasting words
And dedicate them all to me
And I will give you all my life
I'm here if you should call to me

You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say

It's only words, and words are all I have
To take your heart away

You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say

It's only words, and words are all I have
To take your heart away
It's only words, and words are all I have
To take your heart away




It's only words, and words are all I have
To take your heart away

This song by Barry in 1967, I was 12 yrs old. Beautiful lyrics. Now today at 65 yrs old, I'm desperately reaching out to for the woman I love. It's only words that all I have to give my heart away. People can't read minds. I never had expressed myself at the right time. 😢I need her to live . It's been 3.5 yrs since I've spoken with her. We were healthcare professionals since 1986. I'm trying to reach out to her for Thanksgiving.

@Unkl_Bob

I hope you made a connection.

@jackfrost2146
