Close Another Door

Bee Gees · The Studio Albums 1967-1968 [2006]

Many years have passed, it seems

And now I am all alone

I've sent the children far away

To some obscure unknown



It's so sad, so sad



Close another door

Listen to my eyes

Close another door

You're much too old to work

So won't you run away?



When I was young, I used to say

That age won't bother me

The life I had was very sad

It all went out to see



So so sad, so sad



Close another door

Listen to my eyes

Close another door

You're much too old to work

So won't you run away?



And though the sun is in outside

The rain is in my hair

Now all my life is mystified

My home is there in my chair



So so sad, so sad



Close another door

Listen to my eyes

Close another door

You're much too old to work

So won't you run away?



Let me go, send me flowers

And put me on a plane

I've paid before

So I've been told atleast I'm alive



Fly me young, fly [Incomprehensible]

And get me up

I been working so, so very hard

[Incomprehensible]

Close Another Door

Released on The Studio Albums 1967-1968, 'Close Another Door' stands as a quintessential example of the Bee Gees' early transition from pop to soul-influenced R&B. Recorded during their formative years in Melbourne, the track showcases the brothers' signature harmonies and a rhythmic groove that would later define their global dominance. The song reflects the group's experimentation with funk and soul during this period, blending smooth vocals with a driving beat that captures the energy of the late 1960s. As part of their discography, it highlights their ability to craft intimate yet danceable recordings that laid the groundwork for their future success in the disco era.
