| Written by: Barry Gibb David English (2002) Lead vocals: Album: Transcript by | How many sleeps ‘till I see you again How many waves on the shore How many wishes and how many prayers Before you are with me once more I’ll kiss you goodnight And I’ll promise to write And I’ll see you very soon We’ll be looking at the same moon I will be there when you call And the moment is forever Oh, Amy Rose, I love you most of all. Lions and tigers and crocodile tears I will meet you at the kissing gate How many sleeps ‘till I see you again I will meet you at the kissing gate And whether she’s running through the yellow fields

| As you know this is the B side of Cliff Richards new single. A wonderful composition written by Barry and his best friend David English. David is very pleased with the success of the song. David: ‘It’s quite wonderful that it’s doing so well. I wrote the song about my daughter Amy Rose, who, as a little girl, used to phone me from Zimbabwe, where she lived at the time, and asked, How many sleeps before I see you daddy?’ She would measure how long she hadn’t seen me in how many nights she had slept I thought this was a lovely idea for a song so me and Barry went to Miami to record it. We thought it would be perfect for Cliff Richard so he came over and put down the vocals. The funny thing is that Cliff hasn’t even met Amy Rose, even though he’s singing about her.’ | |
