Melody Fair
The Bee Gees Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who is the girl with the crying face looking at millions of signs?
She knows that life is a running race,
Her face shouldn't show any line.

Melody Fair won't you comb your hair?
You can be beautiful too.
Melody Fair, remember you're only a woman.
Melody Fair, remember you're only a girl.

Who is the girl at the window pane,
Watching the rain falling down?
Melody, life isn't like the rain
Its just like a merry go round.

Melody Fair won't you comb your hair?
You can be beautiful too.
Melody Fair,
Remember you're only a woman.
Melody Fair,
Remember you're only a girl.

Who is the girl with the crying face,
Looking at millions of signs?
She knows that life is a running race.
Her face shouldn't show any lines.

Melody Fair won't you comb your hair?
You can be beautiful too.
Melody Fair,
Remember you're only a woman.




Melody Fair,
Remember you're only a girl.
