This day in music history.

March 10, 1988, Five days after his 30th birthday, Andy Gibb dies of an inflammatory heart virus in Oxford, England. His death from myocarditis followed a long addiction to cocaine which had weakened his heart. His first three singles were all million-sellers, "I Just Want to Be Your Everything", "Love Is Thicker Than Water" and "Shadow Dancing". Although his records had made millions, in 1987, he filed for bankruptcy, declaring less than $50,000 in assets and more then $1 million in debt.
Shadow Dancing by Andy Gibb
You got me looking at that heaven in your eyes
I was chasing your direction
I was telling you no lies
And I was loving you
When the words are said ,
baby , I lose my head
And in a world of people ,
there's only you and I
There ain't nothing come between us in the end
How can I hold you when you ain't even mine
Only you can see me through I leave it up to you
Do it light , taking me through the night Shadow dancing ,
baby you do it right
Give me more , drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing , all this and nothing more
All that I need is just one moment in your arms
I was chasing your affection
I was doing you no harm
And I was loving you
Make it shine, make it rain , baby
I know my way
I need that sweet sensation of living in your love
I can't breath when you're away ,
it pulls me down You are the question and the answer
am I
Only you can see me through I leave it up to you
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing , baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing , all this and nothing more
And in this world of people there's only you and I
There ain't nothing come between us in the end ...
