The Bee Gees were three brothers – Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb. They wrote this after getting in a few arguments and realizing the power of words – how they can make you happy or sad. The Bee Gees words will live on with this song, “Words”.
This was written for a movie called The Mini-Affair. In England, the movie was titled The Mini Mob. Barry was the only Gibb to sing on this. It was the first Bee Gees single where only one brother sang.

The Words to the Bee Gees’ “Words”
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
There were 4 Bee Gees. Andy was the youngest one. He’s not in this video because I think he was too young at the time, like 10 yrs old.
