This is a Bee Gees song with lead vocals by Barry Gibb. It was released as a single in the 1969 album "Odessa" with "Lamplight" as its B-side. The song was partially responsible for Robin Gibb's brief departure from the Bee Gees, as he had wanted his song "Lamplight" to be the album's first single, while Barry had preferred "First of May". In 1971, "First of May" was featured in the soundtrack ...

Always loved this song brings back great memories
🌺🌹♥♥Many thanks!
Que exquisita voz . Muy bien.
Beautiful timeless music ❤
The lyrics on the screen lag behind the words as sung; this is a very basic failing in a video of this kind. Do better in future.

Grande😊
Beautiful song, sung by a beautiful lady RIP Francoise❤
Sad & beautifull, since my lover died almost 4 years ago😢
😢such beautie such talent. So loved❤.
Excellent !
I had this song as a B side of a Liberty record, but it quickly became my favourite side. What a singer and what a song.
All over the world People must meet and part There's someone like me Feeling a pain in their heart Some may meet again Under that same bright star If maybe some night You come back from afar Who cares if tonight I don't know where you are Are you thinking of me now Missing having me around If you have forgotten me My world will come tumbling down All over the world Others are sad tonight There's someone like me Watching the sun's fading light All over the sky There is the same warm glow Here under that star I'm wanting you to know Wherever you are That I still love you so
Along with Marianne Faithful, this beautiful songstress Francoise Hardy filled the airwaves of my youth. Such a beautiful clear voice. RIP Francoise .
RIP - love, from a big fan!
Its not the same as listening to acker bilk now that is a classic i love it❤
I would have changed the lyrics for the last verse because "this" does not rhyme with "shore". It's a terrible lyric. I would have written "I'll wait for you, I'll wait forevermore, and I'll remain a lonely, Stranger on the Shore"
The best song ever
I love all of their songs. However, they are sine so beautiful and out of those this is one of them. So many good memories. They are one of the best groups ever.
I’m 55 and love this song even more than when it came out. So beautiful and it always moves me.
A great song performed by a great singer. Very very sad song . The lovers pretend they are together.
Perfection 🥰 ❤
❤❤❤🌹
Real music!! 👍😏
Makes me shiver every time I hear it,I dont know what I would do without my beautiful wife (MY ROCK & SHIELD)
Olvidé lo PRECIOSÍSIMA que es esta canción!!!

I was very young when this came out. I don't remember it. I heard it on Music Choice, and added it to one of my playlists. Great song.
