Rings Around The Moon

Bee Gees · Other Songs - Bee Gees

If you're lonely in the black of night

If you call me, I'll be there

I was falling and you helped me get it right

And I thank you, yes, I thank you



And I pray for the sign

And I won't be too late



If you just come down

I can look you in the eye

I can tell you that I love you

And my love will never die

And it's time that you know

Just how far I mean to go



We fly rings around the moon

We fly rings around the moon

We fly rings around the moon

We fly rings around the moon

We fly rings around the moon

We fly rings around the moon



Come tomorrow, candle burns

And I wake up by your side

All my sorrow, you made it disappear

And I thank you, yes, I thank you



And I lay down my life

And I won't be alone



If you just take time

And be sure of who you are

We can take it up to heaven

We can walk amongst the stars

And I know if you stay

I will never turn away



We fly rings around the moon

We fly rings around the moon

We fly rings around the moon

We fly rings around the moon

We fly rings around the moon

We fly rings around the moon



And I lay down my life

And I won't be to late



If you just take time

And be sure of who you are

We can take it up to heaven

We can walk amongst the stars

And I know if you stay

I will never turn away



We fly rings around the moon

We fly rings around the moon

We fly rings around the moon

We fly rings around the moon



We fly rings around the moon

We fly rings around the moon

We fly rings around the moon

We fly rings around the moon

Rings Around The Moon - Bee Gees

Released in 1970, "Rings Around The Moon" stands as a quintessential example of the Bee Gees' early transition from pop to the sophisticated soul and R&B influences that would later define their disco era. Recorded during a period of intense creative experimentation, the track showcases the brothers' signature harmonies and a smooth, mid-tempo groove that blended orchestral arrangements with contemporary soul rhythms. While not part of their most commercially explosive albums, the song reflects the band's deep engagement with American soul music, particularly the work of artists like Otis Redding and The Temptations, during their formative years. The recording captures a moment of artistic maturity where the group began to craft more complex vocal textures and atmospheric production, laying the groundwork for their future dominance in the music industry. It remains a testament to their ability to evolve their sound while maintaining the melodic sensibilities that made them household names.
