Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling, do not cry, and I will sing a lullaby
Golden Slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles await you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling, do not cry, and I will sing a lullaby
Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way, to get back home
Sleep pretty darling, do not cry, and I will sing a lullaby
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
(Repeat)
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling, do not cry, and I will sing a lullaby
Golden Slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles await you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling, do not cry, and I will sing a lullaby
Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way, to get back home
Sleep pretty darling, do not cry, and I will sing a lullaby
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
(Repeat)
Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight
The Bee Gees’ 'Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight' is a seamless blend of gentle harmonies and cinematic orchestration, capturing the band’s signature late-1960s pop sensibility. Originally conceived as a medley for The Beatles’ 'The White Album,' the Bee Gees’ version—recorded in 1968—was intended for their own album but never released. The track showcases the group’s evolving vocal precision and lush production, foreshadowing their later disco triumphs. Though shelved, it remains a testament to their early ambition and musical versatility, echoing the emotional textures of their contemporaries while retaining their own melodic identity.
