It' a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those, who can easily hide
I don't have much money, but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody, this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked out the moss
Well a few of the verses, well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you, that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see I've forgotten, if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is, what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
 

Rocket man

She packed my bags last night
Pre-flight
Zero hour, nine A.M.
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then

I miss the earth so much
I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did

And all this science
I don't understand
It's just my job, five days a week
A rocket man
 

Daniel

Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God, it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes

They say Spain is pretty, though I've never been
Well, Daniel says it's the best place he's ever seen
Oh, and he should know, he's been there enough
Lord, I miss Daniel, Oh I miss him so much

Oh Daniel, my brother
You are older than me
Do you still feel the pain
Of the scars that won't heal
Your eyes have died, but you see more than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky

Candle in the wind

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have like to known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend never did

Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And the pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
The press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled

Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you something more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe

Sad songs (say so much)

Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain
And ironing out the rough spots
Is the hardest part when memories remain
And it's times like these when we all need to hear the radio
'Cause from the lips of some old singers
We share the troubles we already know

Turn 'em on, turn 'em on
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don't you tune in and turn them on

They reach you into your room
Just feel their gentle touch
When all hope is gone
Sad songs say so much

If someone else is suffering enough to write it down
When every single word makes sense
Then it's easier to have those songs around
The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you
And it feels so good to hurt so bad
And suffer enough to sing the blues

Sad song they say, sad song they say
Sad song they say, sad song they say so much
 

Sorry seems to be the hardest word

What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you're not there?

What have I got to do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over?
And sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad (so sad)
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurde
It's sad (so sad)
Why can't we talk it over?
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do
What have I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word
 

I'm still standing

You could never know what it's like
Your blood like winter freezes
Just like ice and there's cold
Lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like
The wreck you hide
Behind that mask you use

And did you think
This fool could never win
Well look at me
I'm comin' back again
I got a taste of love
In a simple way
And if you neeed to know
While I'm still standing
You just fade away

Don't you know, I'm still standing
Better than I ever did
Lookin' like a true survivor
Feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing
After all this time
Pickin' up the pieces of my life
Without you on my mind

I'm still standing, yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing, yeah yeah yeah

Once I could never hope to win
You starting down the road
Leaving me again
The threats you made
Were meant to cut me down
And if our love was just a circus
You'd be a clown by now
 

Blue eyes

Blue eyes, baby's got blue eyes
Like a deep blue sea
On a blue blue day
Blue eyes, baby's got blue eyes
When the morning comes
I'll be faraway
And I say

Blue eyes holding back the tears
Holding back the pain
Baby's got blue eyes
And she's alone again

Blue eyes, baby's got blue eyes
Like a clear blue sky
Watching over me
Blue eyes, ooh I love blue eyes
When I'm by her side
Where I long to be
I will see

Blue eyes laughing in the sun
Laughing in the rain
Baby's got blue eyes
And I home again

Blue eyes laughing in the sun
Laughing in the rain
Baby's got blue eyes
And I home again

Nikita

Hey Nikita is it cold
In your little corner of the world
You could roll around the globe
And never find a warmer soul to love

Oh I saw you by the wall
Ten of your tin soldiers in a row
When eyes that looked like ice on fire
The human heart a captive in the snow

Oh Nikita you will never know anything about my home
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you
Nikita I need you so
Oh Nikita is the other side on any given line in time
Counting ten tin soldiers in a row
Oh no, Nikita you'll never know

Do you ever dream of me
Do you ever see the letters that I write
When you look up through the wire
Nikita do you count the stars at night

And if there comes a time
Guns and gates no longer hold you in
And if you're free to make a choice
Just look towards the west and find a friend

Oh Nikita you will never know anything about my home
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you
Nikita I need you so
Oh Nikita is the other side on any given line in time
Counting ten tin soldiers in a row
Oh no, Nikita you'll never know
