John, Elton - Elton's Song Lyrics






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

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

John, Elton Elton's Song Comments
  1. M.... B....

    "Presumably Robinson gave Elton the lyric sheet without a title, but simply with the words "Elton’s song”" written on the page. " I asked Tom about this, and you're completely right. He expected Elton to give it a title, but he used what he'd got...

    M.... B....

    Thanks for the insight!

  11. L.... L....

    I WAS ONLY A TEENAGER IN 1989... LOVE WAS HERE. AND I WAS SURE OF THAT.

  12. c.... A....

    My absolute favorite Elton john song. And it's a non-Taupin lyric, go figure.

    c.... A....

    OMG same. He has so many great ones, but this one is wow. The melody, raw lyrics, synthesizer somehow working perfectly with the piano. It's perfection.

  13. d.... b....

    I love this album and the next one (Jump Up) so much....more than even his earlier and later popular stuff.

    d.... b....

    Amen to that brother !! His 1st 4 albums he recorded for Geffen records are amongst his best works.
    Plus I was lucky enough to see both the Jump Up! tour (1982) and the Breaking Hearts tour (1984)
    Those two concerts were beyond belief and I've seen him in almost every tour since 1980,
    these two shows were the absolute best of the bunch !!
    p.s. I also heard him play Elton's song solo in 2000 (right in my backyard in Grand Rapids Mi. !!)

  14. F.... A....

    This song has the same genius simplicity as your song...

  15. M.... ....

    the video to this is great
