We all know who Elton John is, but all too often, the Guy who writes his lyrics, goes unmentioned. He writes some wonderful words to compliment Elton's music. Among my favourites, is the song called, 'The last song', from the Album, 'The one'.

 Here are the words.

Hope you enjoy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Yesterday you came to lift me up
As light as straw and brittle as a bird
Today I weigh less than a shadow on the wall
Just one more whisper of a voice unheard

Tomorrow leave the windows open
As fear grows please hold me in your arms
Won't you help me if you can to shake this anger
I need your gentle hands to keep me calm

`Cause I never thought I'd lose
I only thought I'd win
I never dreamed I'd feel
This fire beneath my skin
I can't believe you love me
I never thought you'd come
I guess I misjudged love
Between a father and his son

Things we never said come together
The hidden truth no longer haunting me
Tonight we touched on the things that were never spoken
That kind of understanding sets me free

His name is Bernie Taupin. The WordMeister. . . great stuff!!

zammo, very sick joke, butt i like it

stu, you only like elton cos he plays piano. he can't sing to save himself. i could listen to paul rogers all day everyday

Whiskers: I could have SWORN I put that in...but you are right, I didn't!! Thanks1

Johnno : I agree and disagree. I think his voice gets better as he gets older. Of course, he does not have the best voice in the world, BUT, it suits the music he writes. Look at Mark Knoffler of Dire straits, he could not hold a note with a gun to his head, BUT, his voice was brilliant at the same time...it's all about relevance. But no one can deny, EJ DOES have heaps of talent, and has contrbuted so much to the world of music.

actually stu, i like his earlier stuff as far as vocals go.

results count and he's got results so there is no arguing about his talent
