First of May" is a song by the Bee Gees with lead vocals by Barry Gibb, released as a single from their 1969 double album Odessa. Its B-side was "Lamplight". It also featured as the B-side of "Melody Fair" when that song was released as a single in the Far East in 1971 as well as in 1976 and 1980 on RSO Records. It was the first Bee Gees single to be released after lead guitarist Vince Melouney had left the group.

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 Some one 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 mine. Released as the lead single from the Bee Gee’s 1969 double album Odessa in January of that year, First of May was a top ten hit in the UK. It’s choice as a single was a highly debated one, as Robin vouched instead for Lamplight, which featured himself on lead vocal.

The group's first disco album - and, for many white listeners, the first disco album they ever purchased - Main Course marked a huge change in the Bee Gees' sound. The group's earlier LPs, steeped in a dense romantic balladry, were beautifully crafted but too serious for any but hardcore fans. The disco numbers on Main Course displayed the same care and craftsmanship that had characterized, say, "First of May" or "Odessa. Barry Gibb's falsetto voice, introduced on this album, was startling at first, and became an object of ridicule in later years, but the slow break on "Nights on Broadway" and songs like "Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)" and "Baby As You Turn Away" were as exquisitely sung as "Lonely Days" or "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart," and.
