[Verse 1]
Smile an everlasting smile
A smile can bring you near to me
Don't ever let me find you gone
Cause that would bring a tear to me
[Verse 2]
This world has lost it's glory
Let's start a brand new story
Now my love, right now
There'll be no other time
And I can show you how, my love
Talk in everlasting words
And dedicate them all to me
And I will give you all my life
I'm here if you should call to me
[Bridge]
You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
[Chorus]
It's only words, and words are all I have
To take your heart away
[Bridge]
You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
[Outro]
It's only words, and words are all I have
To take your heart away
It's only words, and words are all I have
To take your heart away
It's only words, and words are all I have
To take your heart away
“Words” is a single written by The Bee
Gees, which was released in January 1968. It was dedicated for their first
manager Robert Stigwood. Barry and Robin Gibb each described
how the lyrics came into shape during a 1996 VH1 Storytellers TV show:
Barry recalled the meeting at Robert
Stigwood’s home:
‘Words’ was written by me at Adams Row
when I was staying at Robert [Stigwood]’s place, A lot of people began to cover
that song, so over the years it’s become a bit like ‘To Love Somebody’. I
didn’t know it wasn’t on an album — that’s strange how it used to work in those
days. We used to bang singles out one after another.
Robin explains what were ‘words’:
“Words” reflects a mood, and was
written after an argument. Barry had been arguing with someone, I had been
arguing with someone, and happened to be in the same mood. [The arguments were]
about absolutely nothing. They were just words. That is what the song is all
about; words can make you happy or words can make you sad.
In 1968, the song topped number 1 in
the Media Control Charts(German), Dutch Top 40(Netherlands) and the Schweizer
Hitparade(Switzerland) Charts. This song was covered by other notable artists,
including Rita Coolidge in 1978 and Boyzone in
1996.
