Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
My gift is
my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody that this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
Hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world
I sat on the roof and I kicked off the moss
Well some of the verses well, they...they got me quite cross
But the sun's been 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
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 now you're in the world
Stephen Sondheim
Not a day
goes by
Not a single day
But you’re
somewhere a part of my life
And it looks like you’ll stay
As the days go by
I keep thinking when does it end
Where’s the day I’ll have started forgetting
But I just go on thinking and sweating
And cursing and crying
And turning and reaching
And waking and dying
And no, not a day goes by
Not a blessed day
But you’re still somehow part of my life
And you won’t go away
So there’s hell to pay
And until I die
I’ll die day after day after day
After day
After day after day after day
Til the days go by
Til the days go by
Til the days go by
Stephen Sondheim
I feel you,
Johanna
I feel you,
I was half convinced I'd waken,
satisfied enough to dream you
Happily i was mistaken
Johanna….
I'll steal you, Johanna
I'll steal you...
Do they think that walls can hide you?
Even now i'm at your window
I am in the dark beside you
Buried sweetly in your yellow hair...
I feel you, Johanna
and one day, I'll steal you,
'til I'm with you and I'm with you there,
buried sweetly in your yellow hair...
