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 do I 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 absurd 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 do I 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 Paul

FO ALI YOUR SONGby Elton John Lyrics by Bernie Taupin Available on the album Elton John It's 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 off 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

Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin Performed at princess diana’s funeral, saturday september 6, 1997. Goodbye england’s rose May you ever grow in our hearts You were the grace that placed itself Where lives were torn apart You called out to our country And you whispered to those in pain Now you belong to heaven And the stars spell out your name And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never fading with the sunset When the rain set in And your footsteps will always fall here Along england’s greenest hills Your candle’s burned out long before Your legend ever will Loveliness we’ve lost These empty days without your smile This torch we’ll always carry For our nation’s golden child And even though we try The truth brings us to tears All our words cannot express The joy you brought us through the years And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never fading with the sunset When the rain set in And your footsteps will always fall here Along england’s greenest hills Your candle’s burned our long before Your legend ever will Goodbye england’s rose May you ever grow in our hearts You were the grace that placed itself Where lives were torn apart Goodbye england’s rose From a country lost without your soul Who’ll miss the wings of your compassion More than you’ll ever know And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never fading with the sunset When the rain set in And you footsteps will always fall here Along england’s greenest hills Your candle’s burned out long before Your legend ever will Paul

CANDLE IN THE WIND Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road 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 of 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 liked to have 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 pain was the price you paid Even when you died Oh the press still hounded you All the papers had to say Was that marilyn was found in the nude Goodbye norma jean From the young man in the 22nd row Who sees you as something as more than sexual More than just our marilyn monroe Paul

MY FAVOURITE GUESS THATS WHY THEY CALL IT THE BLUES. Dave Don't wish it away Don't look at it like it's forever Between you and me I could honestly say That things can only get better And while I'm away Dust out the demons inside And it won't be long Before you and me run To the place in our hearts Where we hide And I guess that's why They call it the blues Time on my hands Could be time spent with you Laughing like children Living like lovers Rolling like thunder under the covers And I guess that's why They call it the blues Just stare into space Picture my face in your hands Live for each second Without hesitation And never forget I'm your man Wait on me girl Cry in the night if it helps But more than ever I simply love you More than I love life itself And I guess that's why They call it the blues Time on my hands Could be time spent with you Laughing like children Living like lovers Rolling like thunder under the covers And I guess that's why They call it the blues [interlude] Wait on me girl Cry in the night if it helps But more than ever I simply love you More than I love life itself And I guess that's why They call it the blues Time on my hands Could be time spent with you Laughing like children Living like lovers Rolling like thunder under the covers And I guess that's why They call it the blues {Laughing like children Living like lovers} And I guess that's why They call it the blues {Laughing like children Living like lovers} And I guess that's why They call it the blues And I guess that's why They call it the blues

I like all of Elton's stuff. My brother is a big fan and I pretty much grew up listening to Elton John. Don't think I can pick out a particular favourite though Sarah, xxx
