Elton John

Make love and promise it will always be

Ours for all eternity.

Promise it will always be

More than just a memory of love.

You don't love him any more,

He threw your rag doll out the door,

I kept my distance, I held my breath,

Love always ends up hanging by a thread.

Love will grow, it comes and goes,

Emotions can deceive you.

Do you ever dream of me?

Do you ever see the letters that I write?

When you look up through the wire

Nikita do you count the stars at night?

No place to hide your conscience so.

You're a sinking ship with no place to go.

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?

Some lie about who they love,

Some lie about the truth,

Some lie to save their lives,

Some lie about their youth.

And if there comes a time,

Guns and gates no longer hold you in,

And if you're free to make a choice,

Just look towards the west and find a friend.

Lookin’ like a true survivor,

Feelin’ like a little kid.

I'm still standing after all this time,

Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind.

Take love for better, take love for worse,

But never ever take love for granted,

Make love and promise it will always be

More than just a memory of...
