Here's a song from Oliver's PRISMS album released in 1971 - A Man For All Seasons. Here's Bill's notes from the album:
I AND A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE APPLAUD THE REBIRTH OF THE BEE GEES...
This video is released as part of the celebration of life for William Oliver Swofford (2/22/1945 - 2/12/2000); It's being provided as a small gesture of my humble respect and love for this magnificent man taken from us too soon, yet he left these bits of evidence of his short but accomplished, admirable and humbled life. #BeLikeBill
He was a true renaissance man excelling in virtually every way. He was a loving humanitarian and the kindest, most humble man I’ve ever met. If I could do more to spread his beautiful music, character, and kindness, I would. This channel and his Facebook page reflect my sincere hope that through these efforts, his memory lives on, as it does in my heart. I’m forever grateful for his friendship, his faithful heart, his music, and his enduring love. 💙
LYRICS:
Everybody wants to leave
Just like you and I
I have all year to smile
A tear for every eye
Life closed it's eyes, broke my world, now I cry
I've got to tell you, I've got the reasons
'Cause I'm a man, a man for all seasons, alive
And would I pray
What makes the world go round
I haven't got today
My mind is lost and found
Life closed it's eyes and said goodbye, now I cry
But I've got to tell you, I've got my reasons
'Cause I'm a man, a man for all seasons, alive
And would I pray what makes the world go round
I haven't got today, my mind is lost and found
Do do do do do do do
I'm a man for all seasons [Repeat: x4]
Songwriters: Barry Gibb / Maurice Ernest Gibb / Robin Hugh Gibb
