  • Good morning, mister sunshine
    You brighten up my day
    Come sit beside me in your way

    I see you every morning
    Outside the restaurants
    The music plays so nonchalant

    Lonely days, lonely nights
    Where would I be without my woman?
    Lonely days, lonely nights
    Where would I be without my woman?
    Lonely days, lonely nights
    Where would I be without my woman?
    Lonely days, lonely nights
    Where would I be without my woman?

    Lonely days, lonely nights
    Where would I be without my woman?

    Good morning, mister sunshine
    You brighten up my day
    Come sit beside me in your way

    Lonely days, lonely nights
    Where would I be without my woman?
    Lonely days, lonely nights
    (Lonely days, lonely nights)
    Where would I be without my woman?
    (Lonely days, lonely nights) Yeah
    Lonely days, lonely nights
    (Lonely days, lonely nights)
    Where would I be without my woman?
    (Lonely days, lonely nights)
    Lonely days, lonely nights
    (Lonely days, lonely nights)
    Where would I be without my woman? Writer/s: Barry Alan Gibb, Maurice Ernest Gibb, Robin Hugh Gibb

  • AnonymousI grew up in the same London street from 1965 to 1979 where Barry Gibb lived and wrote this song,namely Addison Road in Holland Park but this is news to me that we both lived in Addison Road at the same time!!...Does anyone know which house number Barry lived in there?
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn January 24th 1971, "Lonely Days" by the Bee Gees peaked at #3 (for 1 week) on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; it had entered the chart on November 29th and spent 14 weeks on the Top 100 (and for 7 of those 14 weeks it was on the Top 10)...
    And on February 6th, 1971 it reached #1 (for 1 week) on the Canadian RPM Magazine Top Singles chart...
    The trio's next release, "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart", would be their first #1 record on the Top 100...
    R.I.P. Maurice Gibb (1949 - 2003) and Robin Gibb (1949 - 2012).
