Elton's Song Lyrics

Elton's Song

Music by Elton John . lyrics by Tom Robinson
Album The Fox 1981

Staring all alone
At your grace and style
Cut me to the bone
With your razorblade 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

Sitting in my room
I've got it bad
Crying for the moon
They think I'm mad
I would give my life
For a single night
Beside you
