[Verse 1: Maurice Gibb]
How can you tell by looking at me?
How can you tell you like what you see?
Suddenly there's a boy in the rain alone
Suddenly there's a girl in the rain alone

[Verse 2: Maurice Gibb]
How can you tell humans are real?
How can you tell you like what you feel?
Suddenly there's a girl in your heart, oh boy
Suddenly there's a boy in your heart, oh boy

[Interlude: Barry Gibb]
Ah...

[Verse 3: Maurice Gibb]
How can you tell by looking at me?
How can you tell you like what you see?
Suddenly there's a boy in the rain alone
Suddenly there's a girl in the rain alone

[Interlude: Barry Gibb]

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.
