Whether it was for a movie, a TV show, an animation or an album, Elton John wrote heartfelt music that changed history.
I meant to do my work today
The brown bird sang in the apple tree
I know that’s why
And a butterfly flittered accross the field
And all the leaves were calling me
And the Buttercups nodded their smiling heads
Greeting the bees who came to call
And I asked the lizard the time of day
And the wind went sighing over the land
Tossing the grasses to and fro
And a rainbow held out its shining hand
So what could I do but laugh and go?
