I hear you calling me ‘dearest’ too.
My dearest, I’m nearest, then I’ve ever been before
To have you calling me ‘dearest’ once more.
My dearest, this picture, my own memory.
Wishing this picture was reality.

Where do I go from here? The Lord took you away.
And if you could see my today, I will remember you.
I will remember you
My dearest, sincerest, there’s no one but you and
Here in my heart you’re my dearest too.

Where do I go from here? The Lord took you away.
And if you could see me today, I will remember you.
I will remember you.
My dearest, sincerest, there’s no one but you and
Here in my heart you’re my dearest too.

About Lyrics and Dearest by Bee Gees

When you decide to study the lyrics to Dearest, you're looking at the words, verses and background chorus from the 1971 song by Bee Gees. Some of the lyrics to Dearest have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Bee Gees and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to Dearest if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Dearest" means the words set to the music of Dearest, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Bee Gees. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Dearest and the lyrics to Dearest are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Bee Gees who came here looking just for the lyrics to Dearest, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
