One of my favorite singers is Elton John (born Reginald Kenneth Dwight). I know many of his songs and I really like most of them. It took some time for me to choose one song I like best for this post, as Elton John composed many beautiful songs, such as “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” that he sang in duet with George Michael, “Candle in the Wind” which he dedicated to the memory of Princess Diana or “Your Song” which was later sung by Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman in “Moulin Rouge” movie. Everybody knows these songs. So, I decided to choose the one that is probably not so popular – “Please”. It’s so optimistic, it’s amazing! Well, who knows, maybe, you already know it very well. Anyway, I always enjoy listening to it and hope, you will do, too.
Elton John – Please Lyrics
We’ve been crippled in love, short changed, hung out to dry
We’ve chalked on the walls a slogan or two about life
Stood dazed in the doorway, the king and queen of clowns
We’ve been flipped like a coin, both of us landing face-down
So please, please, let me grow old with you
After everything we’ve been through, what’s left to prove
So please, please, please, oh please let me grow old with you
We’ve been living with sorrow, been up, down and all around
We’ve buried our feelings a little too deep in the ground
Stood dazed in the doorway, the king and queen of clowns
We’ve been flipped like a coin, both of us landing face-down
But tied to the same track, the two of us look back
At oncoming trains ahead
How many more times can we lay on the line
Watching our love hang by a thread
