"Daniel" lyrics

"Daniel"

Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
Ooh it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes

They say Spain is pretty though I've never been
And Daniel says it's the best place that he's ever seen
He should know, he's been there enough
Oh I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much

Daniel my brother you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky

Daniel my brother you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky

Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
Ooh it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
Oh God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes


Writer(s): Bernie Taupin, Elton John
Bernie Taupin was inspired to write this song after he had read an article in a newspaper about a Vietnam War veteran from Texas who just wanted to return to normal life after war without too much attention he was receiving when he went back home and everyone treated him as a hero.
This song was written and recorded in one day at the the Chateau d'Herouville in France, where Elton John and his team gathered to create an album, because that environment provided a creative atmosphere free from distractions.
Elton John had to persuade the recording company to release this song as a single, because they thought it was too long and somber. The song became a hit in spite of a very little promotion.
