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.
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 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.
Sacrifice
It's a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation's strong.
Into the boundry
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes callin'
And negativity lands.
Cold cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passin' 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 jealously burns.
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.
Cold cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passin' 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
It's no sacrifice at all
It's no sacrifice at all
It's no sacrifice at all
Can You Feel The Love Tonight?
There's a calm surrender
To the rush of day,
When the heat of a rolling wind
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've 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've 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.
Nikita
Hey Nikita is it cold
In your little corner of the world
You could roll around the globe
And never find a warmer soul to know.
Oh I saw you by the wall
Ten of your tin soldiers in a row
With eyes that looked like ice on fire
The human heart a captive in the snow.
Oh Nikita you will never know, anything about my home
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you
Nikita I need you so
Oh Nikita is the other side of any given line in time
Counting ten tin soldiers in a row
Oh no, Nikita you'll never know.
Do you ever dream of me
Do you ever see the letters that I write
When you look up through the wire
Nikita do you count the stars at night.
And if there comes a time
Guns and gates no longer hold you in
And if you're free to make a choice
Just look towards the west and find a friend.
Oh Nikita you will never know, anything about my home
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you
Nikita I need you so
Oh Nikita is the other side of any given line in time
Counting ten tin soldiers in a row
Oh no, Nikita you'l never know.
Oh Nikita you will never know, anything about my home
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you
Nikita I need you so
Oh Nikita is the other side of any given line in time
Counting ten tin soldiers in a row
Oh no, Nikita you'l never know.
Rocket Man
She packed by bag last night, preflight
Zero hour, nine a.m.
And I'm gonna be high
As a kite by then.
I miss the earth so much
I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight.
And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Ah, no no no...
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man
Burnin' out his fuse
Up here alone.
Mars ain't the kind of place
To raise your kids
In fact, it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them
If you did.
And all this science
I don't understand
It's just my job
Five days a week
A Rocket Man
Rocket Man.
And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Ah, no no no...
And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Ah, no no no...
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man
Burnin' out his fuse
Up here alone.
And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man
Long, long, time
Long, long, time
Ah, no, no, no...
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man
Believe
I believe in love, it's all we got
Love has no boundaries, costs nothing to touch
War makes money, cancer sleeps
Curled up in my father and that means something to me
Churches and dictators, politics and papers
Everything crumbles sooner or later
But love, I believe in love.
I believe in love, it's all we got
Love has no boundaries, no borders to cross
Love is simple, hate breeds
Those who think difference is the child of disease
Father and son make love and guns
Families together kill someone
Without love, I believe in love.
Without love I wouldn't believe
In anything that lives and breathes
Without love I'd have no anger
I wouldn't believe in the right to stand here
Without love I wouldn't believe
I couldn't believe in you
And I wouldn't believe in me
Without love.
I believe in love
I believe in love
I believe in love
Elton John
I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues
Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me
I could honestly say
That things can only get better.
And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long
Before you and me run
To the place in our hearts
Where we hide.
And I guess that's why
They call it the blues
Time on my hands
Could be time spent with you
Laughing like children
Living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why
They call it the blues.
Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second
Without hesitation
And never forget I'm your man.
Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever
I simply love you
More than I love life itself.
And I guess that's why
They call it the blues
Time on my hands
Could be time spent with you
Laughing like children
Living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why
They call it the blues.
Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever
I simply love you
More than I love life itself.
And I guess that's why
They call it the blues
Time on my hands
Could be time spent with you
Laughing like children
Living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why
They call it the blues.
Bennie And The Jets
Hey kids, shake it loose together,
The spotlight's hitting something
That's been known to change the weather.
we'll kill the fatted calf tonight
So stick around,
You're gonna hear electric music,
Solid Walls of sound.
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
But they're so spaced out, Bennie and the Jets,
But they're weird an they're wonderful,
Oh, Beannie she's really keen
She's got electrice [eletric] boots a mohair suit,
You know I read it in a magazine,
Oh! Bennie and the Jets.
Hey kids, plug into the faithless,
Maybe they're blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless.
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along,
Where we fight our parents out in the streets
To find who's right and who's wrong.
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
But they're so spaced out, Bennie and the Jets,
But they're weird an they're wonderful,
Oh, Beannie she's really keen
She's got electrice [eletric] boots a mohair suit,
You know I read it in a magazine,
Oh! Bennie and the Jets.
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet

She's got electrice [eletric] boots a mohair suit,
You know I read it in a magazine,
Oh! Bennie and the Jets.
The One
I saw you dancin' out the ocean
Running fast along the sand
A spirit born of earth and water
Fire flying from your hands.
In the instant that you love someone
In the second that the hammer hits
Reality runs up your spine
And the pieces finally fit.
And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
You're all I've ever needed
Babe, you're the one.
There are caravans we follow
Drunken nights in dark hotels
When chances breathe between the silence
Where sex and love no longer gel.
For each man in his time is Cain
Until he walks along the beach
And sees his future in the water
A long lost heart within his reach.
And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
You're all I've ever needed
Ooh babe, you're the one.
And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
You're all I've ever needed
Ooh babe, you're the one.
And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
You're all I've ever needed
Ooh babe, you're the one.
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 ya,
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 there´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 there´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.
And I can´t explain
But there´s something about the way you look tonight
Oh takes my breath away
It’s that feeling I get about you deep inside
And I can´t describe
But there´s something about the way you look tonight,
Takes my breath away,
The way you look tonight.
The way you look tonight
The way you look tonight
The way you look tonight
The way you look tonight
The way you look tonight
The way you look tonight
The way you look tonight.
Tinderbox
Nostradamus said I predict
That the world will end at half past six
What he didn't say was exactly when
Was he listening to the radio?
Was he listening to the government?
Well he got us spooked anyway
We'd been running hot up until today
But a wind of change blew across our sales
We were coasting on a winning streak
We were kings until the power failed.
We've been living in a tinderbox
And two sparks can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together around the clock
Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
You and me together in a tinderbox
Two sparks can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together around the clock
Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
You and me together in a tinderbox.
Godzilla came in disguise
Tore the building down right before our eyes
Kept the needle out of the red balloon
Was he worried we might go too far
Maybe wind up rhyming moon and June.
The sun descends down in Mexico
While a fancy car back on Savile Row
Shows the price of fame leads to overkill
Things are gonna have to change
Some holes along the road get filled.
We've been living in a tinderbox
And two sparks can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together around the clock
Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
You and me together in a tinderbox
Two sparks can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together around the clock
Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
You and me together in a tinderbox.
Pressure's gonna cook us if we don't unlock it
Guns going off if we don't uncock it
We've gotta climb out of the other one's pocket
Or we're gonna burn, out on this beautiful rocket
We've been living in a tinderbox
And two sparks can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together around the clock
Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
You and me together in a tinderbox
Two sparks can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together around the clock
Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
You and me together in a tinderbox.
Blue Eyes
Blue eyes
Baby's got blue eyes
Like deep blue sea
On a blue blue day.
Blue eyes
Baby's got blue eyes
When the morning comes
I'll be far away
And I say
Blue eyes holding back the tears
Holding back the pain
Baby's got blue eyes
And she's alone again.
Blue eyes
Baby's got blue eyes
Like a clear blue sky
Watching over me
Blue eyes ooh I love blue eyes.
When I'm by her side
Where I long to be
I will see
Blue eyes laughing in the sun
Laughing in the rain
Baby's got blue eyes.
And I am home again
Blue eyes laughing in the sun
Laughing in the rain
Baby's got blue eyes
And I am home again.
Elton John
Kiss The Bride
Well she looked a peach in the dress she made
When she was still her mama's little girl
And when she walked down the aisle everybody smiled
At her innocence and curls
And when the preacher said is there anyone here
Got a reason why they shouldn't wed
I should have stuck up my hand
I should have got up to stand
And this is what I should have said.
I wanna kiss the bride yeah!
I wanna kiss the bride yeah!
Long before she met him
She was mine, mine, mine
Don't say I do
Say bye, bye, bye
And let me kiss the bride yeah!
Underneath her veil I could see a tear
Trickling down her pretty face
And when she slipped on the ring I knew everything
Would never be the same again
But if the groom would have known he'd have had a fit
About his wife and the things we did
And what I planned to say
Yeah on her wedding day
Well I thought it but I kept it hid.
I wanna kiss the bride yeah!
I wanna kiss the bride yeah!
I wanna kiss the bride yeah!
I wanna kiss the bride yeah!
Long before she met him
She was mine, mine, mine
Don't say I do
Say bye, bye, bye
And let me kiss the bride yeah!
I wanna kiss the bride yeah!
I wanna kiss the bride yeah!
I wanna kiss the bride yeah!
I wanna kiss the bride yeah!
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.
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.
Passengers
Deny the passenger, who want to get on
Deny the passenger, who want to get on
Deny the passenger, who want to get on
Want to get on
He want to get on
Want to get on
He want to get on
To make a chain of fools
You need a matching pair
One hypocritical fool
And a crowd that's never there
There's anger in the silence
There's wheels upon the jail
A black train built of bones
On a copper rail
Deny the passenger, who want to get on
Deny the passenger, who want to get on
Deny the passenger, who want to get on
Want to get on
He want to get on
Want to get on
He want to get on
Company conductor
You need the salt of tears
Falling on a ticket
That no one's used in years
Non-commercial native
It's tattooed in your veins
You're living in a blood bank
And riding on this train.
Deny the passenger, who want to get on
Deny the passenger, who want to get on
Deny the passenger, who want to get on
Want to get on
He want to get on
Want to get on
He want to get on
The spirit's free, but you always find
Passengers stand and wait in line
Someone in front and someone else behind
But passengers always wait in line.
Deny the passenger, who want to get on
Deny the passenger, who want to get on
Deny the passenger, who want to get on
Want to get on
He want to get on
Want to get on
He want to get on
Deny the passenger, who want to get on
Deny the passenger, who want to get on
Deny the passenger, who want to get on
Want to get on
He want to get on
Want to get on
He want to get on
Candle 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.
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.
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled.
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.
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.
Sad Songs (Say So Much)
Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain
And ironing out the rough spots
Is the hardest part when memories remain
And it's times like these when we all need to hear the radio
Cause from the lips of some old singer
We can share the troubles we already know.
Turn them on, turn them on
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don't you tune in and turn them on.
They reach into your room
Just feel their gentle touch
When all hope is gone
Sad songs say so much.
If someone else is suffering enough to write it down
When every single word makes sense
Then it's easier to have those songs around
The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you
and it feels so good to hurt so bad
And suffer just enough to sing the blues.
Turn them on, turn them on
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don't you tune in and turn them on.
They reach into your room
Just feel their gentle touch
When all hope is gone
Sad songs say so much.
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say so much.
So turn them on, turn them on
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don´t you tune in and turn them on.
They reach into your room
Just feel their gentle touch
When all hope is gone
You know sad songs say so much.
When all hope is gone
You know sad songs say so much
When all the litte bit of hope is gone
Sad songs say so much.
When all the litte bit of hope is gone
Sad songs say so much
When all hope is gone
Sad songs say.
Are You Ready For Love
Catch a star if you can
Wish for something special
Let it be me, my love is free
Sing a song to yourself
Think of someone listening
One melody, you're all for me.
I'll write a symphony just for you and me
If you let me love you, I'll paint a masterpiece
Just for you to see
If you let me love you, let me love you.
Are you ready, are you ready for love
Yes I am oh yeah
Are you, are you ready, are you ready for love
Yes I am oh yeah
Are you, are you ready, are you ready for love.
You're the one like the sun
Shine your love around me
You'll always be the one for me.
Say the word and I'll be there
Loving you forever
Don't let me go
Just say it's so.
We'll hear the music ring from the mountain tops
To the valley below us
We'll serenade the world
With a lullaby so the angels will know us
Angels will know us.
Are you ready
are you ready for love yes i am oh yeah
are you ready
are you ready for love yes i am oh yeah.
Are you ready
are you ready for love yes i am oh yeah
are you ready
are you ready for love yes i am oh yeah.
