Elton's Song Songtext / Lyric

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
