I wonder if you're alone up there
Since you've been gone, I've been alone down here
She told me that I would be OK
Now I don't believe, what she had to say

When she said don't worry, and you'll be fine
It's only a matter, a matter of time
As she sits back and finishes her wine
She prays to the lord I'll be fine

Now days have passed, and weeks have too
All I think about is how I miss you
She told me that I would be OK
But I feel the same that I felt that day

When she said don't worry, and you'll be fine
It's only a matter, a matter of time
As she sits back and finishes her wine
She prays to the lord I'll be fine
She prays to the lord I'll be fine

He don't know what he has done
Mother prays to the lord above
Lord please save my sons
He don't know what he has done
(The damage has been done to them)
She prays to the lord above
Lord please save my sons

She says don't worry, and you'll be fine
It's only a matter of time
She says don't worry, and you'll be fine
It's only a matter, a matter of time
As she sits back and finishes her wine
She prays to the lord I'll be fine
She prays to the lord I'll be fine
She says don't worry, and you'll be fine
It's only a matter of time
It's only a matter of time

    i think this song is about his mom dying and he's singing about what she used to do and he's remembering her fondly and missing her.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again.
