[Verse 1: Robin Gibb]
Look at me I'm riding high
Don't know what's wrong with me
Can't you see I'm not the guy
That I pretend to be

[Hook: Robin Gibb]
Though I know I will be lonely
But our love will never die
I close my eyes, everyday, I close my eyes
Ah......

[Verse 2: Barry Gibb]
The more I try the more I fail
I'd like to run away
But if I try you pass me by
I know that I can't stay

[Hook: Robin Gibb] x2

[Outro: Barry Gibb]
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
I close my eyes

Bee Gees

The three Gibb brothers were very close as children and spent most of their time together. Barry was born in 1946, and his twin brothers Maurice and Robin were born in 1949. Together, they went on to become one of the most popular bands of the 1970s.

The Bee Gees have sold more than 220 million records worldwide, and functioned as a group almost continuously from 1958 to 2003, when Maurice Gibb suddenly died during a coma.
