Elton John - Candles In The Wind

         

Goodbye Norma Jean 
Though I never knew you at all 
You had the grace to hold yourself 
While those around you crawled 
They crawled out of the woodwork 
And they whispered into your brain 
They set you on the treadmill 
And they made you change your name 

And it seems to me you lived your life 
Like a candle in the wind 
Never knowing who to cling to 
When the rain set in 
And I would have liked to have known you 
But I was just a kid 
Your candle burned out long before 
Your legend ever did 

Loneliness was tough 
The toughest role you ever played 
Hollywood created a superstar 
And pain was the price you paid 
Even when you died 
Oh the press still hounded you 
All the papers had to say 
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude 

Goodbye Norma Jean 
From the young man in the 22nd row 
Who sees you as something as more than sexual 
More than just our Marilyn Monroe 

         

Elton John - Can You Feel The Love Tonight

         

There's a calm surrender 
To the rush of day 
When the heat of the rolling world 
Can be turned away 
An enchanted moment 
And it sees me through 
It's enough for this restless warrior 
Just to be with you 

And can you feel the love tonight? 
It is where we are 
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer 
That we got this far 
And can you feel the love tonight 
How it's laid to rest? 
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds 
Believe the very best 

There's a time for everyone 
If they only learn 
That the twisting kaleidoscope 
Moves us all in turn 
There's a rhyme and reason 
To the wild outdoors 
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager 
Beats in time with yours 

And can you feel the love tonight? 
It is where we are 
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer 
That we got this far 
And can you feel the love tonight 
How it's laid to rest? 
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds 
Believe the very best 

It's enough to make kings and vagabonds 
Believe the very best 

         

Elton John - Something About The Way You Look Tonight

         

There was a time 
I was everything and nothing all in one 
When you found me 
I was feeling like a cloud across the sun 

I need to tell you 
How you light up every second of the day 
But in the moonlight 
You just shine like a beacon on the bay 

And I can't explain 
But it's something about the way you look tonight 
Takes my breath away 
It's that feeling I get about you, deep inside 
And I can't describe 
But it's something about the way you look tonight 
Takes my breath away 
The way you look tonight 

With a smile 
You pull the deepest secrets from my heart 
In all honesty 
I'm speechless and I don't know where to start 

         

Elton John - Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word

         

What have I got to do to make you love me 
What have I got to do to make you care 
What do I do when lightning strikes me 
And I wake to find that you're not there 

What do I do to make you want me 
What have I got to do to be heard 
What do I say when it's all over 
And sorry seems to be the hardest word 

It's sad, so sad 
It's a sad, sad situation 
And it's getting more and more absurd 
It's sad, so sad 
Why can't we talk it over 
Oh it seems to me 
That sorry seems to be the hardest word 

What do I do to make you love me 
What have I got to do to be heard 
What do I do when lightning strikes me 
What have I got to do 
What have I got to do 
When sorry seems to be the hardest word 

         

Elton John - Your Song

         

It's a little bit funny 
this feeling inside 
I'm not one of those 
who can easily hide 
I don't have much money 
but boy if I did 
I'd buy a big house 
where we both could live 

If I was a sculptor, 
but then again, no 
Or a man who makes potions 
in a travelling show 
I know it's not much 
but it's the best I can do 
My gift is my song 
and this one's for you 

And you can tell everybody 
this is your song 
It may be quite simple 
but now that it's done 
I hope you don't mind 
I hope you don't mind 
that I put down in words 
How wonderful life is 
while you're in the world 

I sat on the roof 
and kicked off the moss 
Well a few of the verses 
well they've got me quite cross 
But the sun's been quite kind 
while I wrote this song 
It's for people like you 
that keep it turned on 

So excuse me forgetting 
but these things I do 
You see I've forgotten 
if they're green or they're blue 
Anyway the thing is 
what I really mean 
Yours are the sweetest eyes 
I've ever seen 

         

Elton John - Sacrifice

         

It's a human sign 
When things go wrong 
When the scent of her lingers 
And temptation's strong 

Into the boundary 
Of each married man 
Sweet deceit comes calling 
And negativity lands 

Cold cold heart 
Hard done by you 
Some things look better baby 
Just passing through 

And it's no sacrifice 
Just a simple word 
It's two hearts living 
In two separate worlds 
But it's no sacrifice 
No sacrifice 
It's no sacrifice at all 

Mutual misunderstanding 
After the fact 
Sensitivity builds a prison 
In the final act 

We lose direction 
No stone unturned 
No tears to damn you 
When jealousy burns
