Robin Gibb Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Smile an everlasting smile a smile could bring you near to me
Don't ever let me find you're gone cause that would bring a tear to me
This world has lost its glory let's start a brand new story now my love
Right now there'll be no other time and I can show you all my love

Talk an everlasting words and dedicate them all to me
And I will give you all my love 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
