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]
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.
