18. “Still Waters” (cassette) Since “Bee Gees 1st” was released is 1967 the brothers have written, recorded and had more hit songs than most artists could ever dream of. Yet with the release in 1997 of “Still Waters” Robin, Maurice and Barry are still just as fresh with new ideas for their music.

In “Still Waters” Maurice teases me on “Closer Than Close”. Robin’s haunting tremble makes me shiver. Barry’s breathy vocals carry me away. Then the perfect melting together of their voices. They had me moving to the beat and singing along from start to finish.

Here are just a few of my favorite lyrics from the “Still Waters” album…

“Alone”…So I play. I’ll wait. And I pray it’s not too late. We came so far. Just the beat of a lonely heart. And it’s mine. And I don’t want to be alone.

“I Surrender”…I will walk through fire, keep you safe and sound. In the final hour, turn my life around. And I surrender take me for all time.

“I Could Not Love You More”…Here you are, owner of my heart. Never let you say goodbye. And there is something I must say to you. We leave the world outside. And you have come to me at last, we start. Open up your heart. Let my deepest love inside. I’m only doing what I have to do. If you promise to believe. That it’s you I’m living for. And I could not love you more.

“Still Waters Run Deep”…But living in your arms I can take it. Please don’t make me shiver. I know together we deliver. Let the gods decide who finds the sweetest thrill. Who can justify the truth? I love you still.

“My Lover’s Prayer”…It’s heaven on earth. You’re the fire and all that I’m worth. And I can be strong. You hold the key. Don’t say it’s over. Don’t say it’s over for me.

“With My Eyes Closed”…I can see you with my eyes closed. I can feel you when you’re near me. Just the knowing that you hear me, could be. You could measure my love. I can touch you with my hands tied. It don’t take no extra feeling. Let your imagination, just run. You can measure my love.

“Irresistible Force”…I know the place and the time(of our lives). My fair-weather friend. I feel your sorrow and tears(they are mine). We share to the end.

“Closer Than Close”…At the point of ecstasy. I write a symphony of poetry in motion. And leavin’ me there to die.

“I Will”…So this is who you are. And the rest of my life I dedicate to you. And I know that love can’t wait. There’s a moon and a sun. ANd a dream that sees me through.

“Obsessions”…Whisper and I’ll be there. I don’t want you begging me to stop. I just want to drown in your desire. Love is for those who dare. All the cream is rising to the top. And it’s the love you save from dying.

“Miracles Happen”…Broken wings, don’t arrive. It’s a storm but you still survive. Gonna take a miracle. So I go around believing you. Say good nigh, stay forever and nobody knows how much I pray for you at night. And Miracles Happen.

“Smoke and Mirrors”…May God bless you, keep you safe from all harm. I stand by you always. Time and motion. (smoke and mirrors) Hands touch, lips find a way. (That’s all I ever got) (smoke and mirrors) to Heaven on high.
