Too Much Heaven ♫ Bee Gees

Single Too Much Heaven dirilis pada penghujung musim gugur tahun 1978. Rencananya lagu ini dipakai sebagai salah satu soundtrack untuk film Moment by Moment yang dibintangi John Travolta. Namun rencana batal setelah Barry Gibb menonton cuplikan-cuplikan film itu -- yang menurutnya -- buruk sekali. Selain itu, lagu ini juga lamban merangkak di tangga lagu. Akhirnya, lagu ini dijadikan sebagai sumbangsih Bee Gees untuk mendukung kegiatan penggalangan dana bagi UNICEF, Badan Perserikatan Bangsa Bangsa untuk Anak-anak.

Pada 9 Januari 1979 lagu ini dinyanyikan dalam acara Music for UNICEF Concert dalam rangka merayakan Tahun Anak Sedunia. Tak disangka-sangka, setelah konser itu, single ini mencapai puncak tangga lagu di Amerika dan Canada, dan menduduki peringkat ketiga di tangga lagu Inggris. Dari royalti lagu ini terkumpul dana sebanyak $7 juta yang semuanya disumbangkan untuk UNICEF. Bee Gees kemudian diundang ke Gedung Putih dimana Jimmy Carter Presiden Amerika kala itu menyampaikan rasa terima kasihnya.


TOO MUCH HEAVEN LYRICS
BEE GEES

Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by, I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain and harder to climb

Oh you and me girl got a lot of love in store
And it flows through you and it flows through me
And I love you so much more than my life

I can see beyond forever
Everything we are will never die
Loving's such a beautiful thing

Oh you make my world a summer day
Are you just a dream to fade away

Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by, I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain and harder to climb

You and me girl got a highway to the sky
We can turn away from the night and day
And the tears we had to cry, you're my life

I can see a new tomorrow
Everything we are will never die
Loving's such a beautiful thing
When you are to me, the light above
Made for all to see our precious love

Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by, I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain and harder to climb

Loving's is such a beautiful thing
You make my world a summer day
Are you just a dream to fade away

Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by, I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
Its as wide as a river and harder to cross

Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by, I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain and harder to climb
