[Intro]
Where are you? I love you
Where are you? I love you
Where are you to keep me warm?

[Verse 1]
I had a dream of a place far away
I followed a river where the dead man would play
And I'm leaving in the morning
And I'm leaving in the morning

[Chorus 1]
And I won't die, so don't cry, I'll be home
Those big black diamonds that lie there for me
By the tall white mountains which lie by the sea

[Verse 2]
I knew a man, who was tall as the sky
Followed a river where thousands had died
And he was leaving in the morning
Oh no, he was leaving in the morning

[Chorus 2]
Said, if I come home and my woman has flown
Oh, big black diamonds that lie there for me
By the tall white mountains which lie by the sea

[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Say goodbye to auld lang syne
Say goodbye to auld lang syne
Say goodbye to auld lang syne

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.
