Released on the Bee Gee’s major label sophmore effort, Horizontal, this baroque pop ballad features lead vocals by Robin Gibb. It was released as a single in France, with ‘Really and Sincerely’ as its B-side, and reached #66 on their charts.
Barry remembers how the track was recorded in one take. “...
[Verse 1]
And the rain will fall, it falls for you
And the clouds will break into tears
You should be here standing so near to me
[Pre-Chorus]
Cept I know you should be sad
But give me time alone to get it out of my mind
Though I say, I know it's only the weather
Cause every time it rains, you are gone
And I'm blue
Then I wake up, then I wake up
[Chorus]
And the sun will shine if just for you
And the trees will talk to the skies, whispering lies
Heaven will pass to me, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Trains walk by and the birds disappear
But why am I still here without you by my side
So I cry your name and love
Cause love to me is life and I live
Then I wake up, then I grow up
[Outro]
And the rain will fall
It falls for you
And the clouds will break
It should be near
And the sun will shine
If just for you
And the love....
And the Sun Will Shine was written by Maurice Gibb & Robin Gibb & Barry Gibb.
