Perhaps the Bee Gees wrote this song out of some experience they had in life. Maybe they are writing from the perspective of a former lover they rejected when they became famous.
Here we are
In a room full of strangers
Standing in the dark
Where your eyes couldn't see me
The rejected lover comes to Broadway, to see the celebrity they once had a relationship with. They're standing in the dark, in a room full of strangers, as one would be at such an event.
Well, I had to follow you
Though you did not want me to
But that won't stop my lovin' you
I can't stay away
Although they know they're no longer wanted, the rejected lover still follows the celebrity around to shows, just to see them.
Now in my place
There are so many others
Standin' in the line
How long will they stand between us
The rejected lover now has to stand in line with many other people to see the celebrity. They want to know how long the fame of the celebrity (Bee Gee?) will stand between them.
Blamin' it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them love songs
Singin' them straight to the heart songs
The rejected person blames the misfortunes of the relationship on the other person becoming famous by singing love songs.
I will wait
Even if it takes forever
I will wait
Even if it takes a lifetime
Somehow I feel inside
You never ever left my side
Make it like it was before
Even if it takes a lifetime, takes a lifetime, ooh
The rejected person longs to get back into a relationship with the celebrity, and will wait a lifetime if necessary.
