[JacobElyachar]

I just discovered this song a month ago and it has already become one of my all-time favorite Elton John songs!!

[msmiztressnblack]

i always loved this, although i haven't heard it in many years. elton gets better and better!!!

[ftsjr]

A great song from an awesome album.

[anagramish]

i saw him 3 days ago and he was amazing. his voice is still great

[MurciellagoSV]

Ozzy Osbourne on his concert. OMG! Amazing!

[irmaovinicius19]

essa music já me vez chorar muitas vez!!!!

[Powiean]

Always been a favorite of mine. Love it the first time I heard it, and today I'm playing the Don't Shoot Me album on vinyl, which was one of my dads.

[15MsMaddi]

i'd love to be one of those choir kids!

[g5pigott]

how could you seriously not like this video? Maybe his most under appreciated song ever

[blueberries4ever]

He sounds as good as he did when he recorded this back in early 70's. I wore the album out playing it over and over and I still get down with it. I could care less who he beds---I appreciate the talent and longevity.

[r00tex]

who da hell disliked it ?!

[jjobie]

Ozzy and Sharon are in the audience! that's pure win.

[NashvilleClay]

Totally excellent.

[xXclockstopXx]

is that ozzy at @1:58?

[mizofan]

One of his best songs for sure, and i'm glad he likes it too. Elton's new album The Union, with Leon Russell, is superb

[ClimosVideos]

I love the skull earring! He always keeps it fresh...

[stevenjackson1958]

anothr great unknown tht some1 will find 1day & an epiphany will occur as it did with candle in the wnd in 86 & 97 "candle" was not well known in the u.s til 86 bcause the us record cmpny finally had the sense 2release it. 2bad the 73 version is so rarely hrd 2 his credit he did playcandle live oftenhe needs 2quit neglecting this song& put it on every other set list i can name many tht he overplays but i no if i mention thm i will insult the average ej fan &many of his dihrds. btw i am a dihrd

[sportsradio6]

This very Show, I was there, and when he sang this song, i think it was one of the best songs i ever herd, and towards the end it got loud, because of the brooklyn youth chours, awsome show, hopfully i will get to see Sir Elton Again, i almost got to met him at that show, but i couldnt because there were to many celebrities, but i still enjoyed myself, concert 3 and a half hours great great show, ROCK ON ELTON, ROCK ON. Happy Birthday!!!

[swillyakita]

[cshowalter]

this song has remained a constant soundtrack to my life...from my first love when i was kid growing up in Boston, to broken hearts in high school to growing up and old(er) in California, this song has been an all time favourite. Kudos to thsio posting

[louvregroove]

The white walls of your dressing room are stained in scarlet red

You bled upon the cold stone like a young man

In the foreign field of death

Wouldn't it be wonderful is all I heard you say

You never closed your eyes at night and learned to love daylight

Instead you moved away

[louvregroove]

You wore a little cross of gold around your neck I saw it as you flew between my reason Like a raven in the night time when you left I wear a chain upon my wrist that bears no name You touched it and you wore it And you kept it in your pillow all the same My high-flying bird has flown from out my arms I thought myself her keeper She thought I meant her harm She thought I was the archer A weather man of words But I could never shoot down My high-flying bird

[REDTIB03GT]

Always a class act, the choir makes this song even more beautiful. Some of the old Elton albums you just never get tired of.

[Pianodarling1947]

[raven22290]

But who'll walk him down to church now that he's 60 years on?

[heathere4ever]

[sorspezzino]

It's a quote from Sixty Years On, one amongst the many Elton John's masterpieces. Listen to it and YOU will grow up a little bit

[takeonescreen]
