Elton John - Love Letters


Duet with bonnie raitt
Written by victor young and edward heyman
Available on the album duets

Love letters straight from your heart
Keep us so near while apart
I’m not alone in the night
When I can have all the love you write

I memorize every line
And I kiss the name that you sign
And, darling, then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart

I memorize every line
And I kiss the name that you sign
And, darling, then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart
And, darling, then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart

Elton John - Old Friend

I want to be good, I want to be strong
But I treated him bad, I’ve done him wrong

I’ve taken his money, I’m given him hell
And he takes it all ’cause he knows me well

We can say what we mean and mean what we say
We don’t like to mess around
But we’re there to hold each other up
When we’re falling down

Just like an old friend
Putting me on my feet again
Giving me back my pride then
Letting me go
Just like an old friend
Putting me in my place again
Giving me back my hope then
Letting me know that he’s an old friend

I don’t suffer no fools *i testify*
But he must be one for being by my side
I’ve broken his heart
I’ve shaken his tree
But still he doesn’t want anything from a fool like me

We won’t talk for a year or two
Maybe when we do we won’t say much
Even so we know that out of mind is never out of touch

We’re having a man-to-man
Don’t want to get sentimental
But both of us understand
We’ll never have to say goodbye, just see you later

Lady luck and the four leaf clover
Won’t be as hurt as I feel all over
My life for one special occasion
`til you leave in depth the situation

Well well well
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down

My car got repossessed this morning
Harder times I haven’t seen in years
Able to throw me a life preserver
`cause I’m about to drown in my own tears

Well well well
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down

Well well well
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down

Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down

Well well well
Standing on shakey ground
Shaking, shakey ground
Standing, standing
Standing on shakey ground

Duet with k. d. lang

Available on the album duets

Whenever I hear good-byes
Reminds me, baby, of you
I break down and cry
The next time I’ll be true

Feels as if we lost romance
Reminds me, baby, of you
I took a crazy chance
The next time I’ll be true, I’ll be true

Footsteps on the dance floor
Remind me, baby, of you
Teardrops in my eyes
Next time I’ll be true, yeah

Whispers in the back room
And cries on every tune, every tune

And the music don’t feel like it did
When I felt it with you
Nothing that I do or feel ever feels
Like I felt it with you

When I’m messing round
Reminds me, baby, of you
I really let you down
The next time I’ll be true, I’ll be true

Elton John - The Power


Duet with little richard
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album duets

I have sold myself through and through
I have walked in the darkness too
I’ve felt a red sun, the living proof
Washed my hands in the honest truth

I have carried this weight time after time
I have bettered the dumb and the blind
I’ve seen dignity fail and colors run
Seen justice denied by the voice of a gun

And we walk, yes we walk
And we walk with the power every day
Never letting the light slip away

Reaching out, reaching in
Touching truth and touching skin
Never letting the light slip away
And we walk with the power every day

If our faith is a fire then burn baby burn
We’ve had fire long enough to learn
Keeping me whole is a healing light
Kept alive by the flames of night

Walk tall in the power day after day
Never, never, never lose sight of the way
See the dawn come and the dusk end
See the power rise from an open hand

Elton John - True Love

Duet with kiki dee
Written by cole porter
Available on the album duets

Suntanned, windblown
Honeymooners at last alone
Feeling far above par
Oh, how lucky we are

While I give to you and you give to me
True love, true love
So on and on it will always be
True love, true love

For you and I have a guardian angel
On high, with nothing to do
But to give to you as you give to me
Love forever, true
Love forever, true

Give me more true love
Oh yeah
True love, true love

Gotta give me your true love
Oh yeah
True love, true love

Elton John - When I Think About Love

Duet with p. m. dawn
Written by attrel cordes
Available on the album duets

Holding all the pictures that my life draw
I never find a missing love
Remembering all the rays that have been made
But never cloudy leaving love

Ask me what it is that makes it special
Why is it so real to me
It’s knowing who keeps their place in my heart
It’s knowing how is it I can feel you
It’s knowing never will I change my mind, baby
When I think about love I think about you
When I think about love I think about you

Too many times I’ve turned my emotions on and off
Without realizing what it does
I know what’s moved me and kept me going this far
But I never questioned what it was

Elton John - Don’t Let The Sun Go Down on Me

I can’t light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I’m growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

It’s much too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Don’t let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see
I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Ladies and gentlemen mr. elton john

I can’t find
Oh, the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way feel
Don’t discard me baby don’t
Just because you think I mean you harm
Just because you think I mean you harm, oh
But these cuts I have, cuts I have
They need love
They need love, they need love to help them heal

Oh, don’t let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see
I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
Cause’ losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Don’t let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I that see, yeah
I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free baby, oh
Cause’ losing everything is like the sun going down on me
