Long Way from Happiness Lyrics

Long Way From Happiness

Music by Elton John . lyrics by Taupin
Album The Big Picture 1997

I guess you're okay
You seem to feel better these days
I've known you for so long
I've seen your brightness go from blue to grey

You know that it's true
You can shake your head but I can prove
I've seen things through your eyes
You think you win but in the end you lose

And there's no second guess
We take no second bets
Chances are you're a long way from happiness
Don't cover up the road to love with words that can't express
The truth implies
You're high and dry
And you're a long way from happiness

I'm one step behind
Looking out for you all the time
I'll put my faith in you
And steer you clear of love that leaves you blind

And there's no second guess
We take no second bets
Chances are you're a long way from happiness
Don't cover up the road to love with words that can't express
The truth implies
You're high and dry
And you're a long way from happiness
