First of May - Bee Gees


When I was small and Christmas trees were tall
We used to love while others used to play
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by
Someone else moved in from far away

*Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small
And you don't ask the time of day
But you and I, our love will never die
But guess we'll cry come first of May

The apple tree that grew for you and me
I watched the apples falling one by one
And I recall the moment of them all
The day I kissed your cheek and you were gone

*Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small
And you don't ask the time of day
But you and I, our love will never die
But guess we'll cry come first of May

When I was small and Christmas trees were tall
Doo......
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by
Someone else moved in from far away

Tracy Constance Margaret Hyde, actress and model (born May 16, 1959, Fulham, London, England) shot to fame in the 1971 film Melody after being discovered by film producer, David Puttnam. She learnt ballet at the age of four, did junior modelling for an agency and auditioned for a pickle advertisement.
Andrew Parkin, brother of Jane Parkin, saw photographs of the young Tracy and persuaded her mother, Maureen to audition her for the role. Parkin also recommended Tracy to director Waris Hussein, writer, Alan Parker and producer, David Puttnam. After screen tests and auditions, Tracy finally won the role.

Mark Lester (b. July 11, 1958) was an English child actor known for playing innocent-looking boys in British and European films of the 1960s and 70s.
He was born Mark A. Letzer.[1] The son of actor and producer Michael Lester and actress Rita Lester, Lester attended Corona Stage Academy in London and had supporting roles in several British television series, including The Human Jungle and Danger Man.
At the age of nine, Lester was cast in Oliver! (1968). He played the lead in the multiple Academy Award-winning musical adaptation of Charles Dickens' novel, which co-starred Jack Wild.
These two child actors later reunited for Melody (1971), which depicted British schoolchildren in love. Tracy Hyde played the role of Melody in the film, which used early music from the Bee Gees and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
In 1969, Lester received critical acclaim for his portrayal of a withdrawn only child in Run Wild, Run Free, starring opposite Sir John Mills. However, after starring in Eyewitness and Melody and in Black Beauty (1971), he found good roles harder to come by. Night Hair Child (1971) where he kissed a woman on the lips and Redneck (1972), where he stripped naked for the camera, were considered by many critics as inappropriate vehicles for the young actor due to their themes of sexuality and violence
