The Bee Gees: “Words”

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
