Lion in my winter
I'm a lion with no crown

You wanna make me big man , a star on a screen
Some kind of James Brown or something in between
But when I ask for money you smother me in charms
I can't live on glory when your bendin' both my arms

I , I was a lion in winter
And man I had friends for miles around
I was a lion in my winter
What good's a lion Lord, without a crown

You're living in a cave man ,upon your marble throne
You think you own the heavens, but you've got to be alone
You know I prayed for sunshine, a woman with my name
I don't want to live man, you gave away the game

I, I was a lion in winter
And man I had friends for miles around
I was a lion in my winter
What good's a lion Lord , without a crown
I, I was a lion in winter
And man I had friends for miles around
I was a lion in my winter
What good's a lion Lord , without a crown

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.
