[Verse 1: Robin Gibb]
Sweet simple song
Of different lights and different shades
The sound of life erupts and fades
And all the world must play along
My life has been a song

[Verse 2: Robin Gibb]
Here as I sleep
The love I dream will gently creep
Inside my heart I softly keep
The tune that plays too long
My life has been a song

[Hook: Barry Gibb]
Every sound in my head
Every word that I said
Is like a melody, melody
That no little person like me
Could ever change
Every sound in the street
All the cold and the heat
Is like a symphony, symphony
Which has never before been rearranged

[Verse 1: Robin Gibb]

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.
