"Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" lyrics
"Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me"
[George Michael:]
I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growin' tired, and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life
It's much too late to save myself from fallin'
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meanin' when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light
Don't let the sun go down on me, yeah
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, oh
But losin' everything is like the sun goin' down on me
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Elton John
[Elton John (George Michael) & {Both}:]
I can't find, oh, the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
{Don't discard me} (Baby, no)
Just because you think I mean you harm
(Just because you think I mean you harm, no)
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, (oh)
'Cause losin' everything is like the {sun goin' down on me}
Don't let the sun go down on me
(Although I search myself, it's always someone else that I see, yeah)
(I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, baby, oh)
'Cause losin' everything is like the {sun goin' down on me}
[George Michael:]
Mr. Elton John
Thanks to eusebio valledor, Dino for correcting these lyrics.
Writer(s): Elton John, Bernard J.p. Taupin
The
Beach Boys inspired this song and two members of the group, Carl Wilson and Bruce Johnston, even sang backup.
Lyricist Bernie Taupin said, "...we wanted to write something big. ...Hopefully being powerful without being pompous."
Elton John was not satisfied with any of his vocal takes during the recording of this song. When he heard them he said,
"That's a load of crap. You can send it to Engelbert Humperdinck, and if he doesn't like it, you can give it to Lulu as a demo."
Elton John appeared as a surprise guest at the
George Michael concert in London on the 25th of March 1991 to perform this song as a duet. This version reached number one in the UK and US.
