Elton’s Song - Elton John

Album: The Fox

genre: Pop Rock

Staring all alone
And your grace and style
Cut me to the bone
With your razor blade smile
I watched you playing pool
It’s all around the school that I love you
I love your gypsy hair
And dark brown eyes
Always unprepared
For your pointed replies
Cynical and lean
I lie awake and dream about you

If you only knew
What I’m going through
Time and again I get ashamed
To say your name

It’s hard to grin and bear
When you’re standing there
My lips are dry
I catch your eye and look away

Sitting in my room
I’ve got it bad
Crying for the moon
They think I’m mad
They say it isn’t real
But I know what I feel and I love you

If you only knew
What I’m going through
Time and again I get ashamed
To say your name

It’s hard to grin and bear
When you’re standing there
My lips are dry
I catch your eye and look away

If you only knew
What I’m going through
Time and again I get ashamed
To say your name

But I would give my life
For a single night beside you.
