[Rafaello69]

I'd love to. Can you send it to me on email on by private message?

[Rafaello69]

Do anybody have sheet's for this song?... 

[andrewhampton58]

@Rafaello69 I can do that for you in chords if you like?

[MrSluggo666]

Paul Buckmasters strings are incredible all over the album !

[gemleaf]

Made me cry at midnight :)

[ticklemepeyton]

my mother sang this to me as a lullaby when i was young... now i sit here crying as i listen to its beauty. wow, thank you elton john

[Irmeli55]

I used to sing this to my son when he was young, now that he's gone I sing it again and cry...

[markdawsonmusic]

Tugs your heart strings...doesnt it

[kate54ish]

[BigOusn]

[ajpianoman1]

@xavierdlt Thank you very much. You're very welcome.

[ajpianoman1]

@xavierdlt God Bless you, my friend... He is in Paradise now. And is now singing it for crowds and crowds of Angels...

[yamyow]

what a gorgeously sad song, breaks yer heart is lovely

[MatthewFrazierr]

i wish there was an instrumental/karaoke version of this

[musicappraisal]

Great song! Two friends of mine did it on Youtube.."Goodbye, tribute to Elton John, Cousin"-Not bad. Give them your opinion, I'm sure they'd love the feedback!

[MeatloafTribute1]

Im sorry I took your time!

[Perfidia4ever]

Che brano celestiale.Romanticismo in musica, una delle perle misconosciute dell'Elton "senza soldi"....Non riuscirà più a fare canzoni così inghiottito dal business.Peccato..Lo avrei preferito senza soldi ma con altre gemme come questa.

[Berthagertrude]

Man, this song is painful.

[DownInMontegoBay]

Love this. I don't know if this posted before or not. I also thought this was about Christ -- "wine will flow into the land and feed my lambs" --- all I know is it broke my heart when I was twelve, and every other time I hear it.

[DownInMontegoBay]

This breaks my heart everytime I hear this, and I first heard it when I was 12 years old. I cried then.

[choralstuart]

goes for my heart..since the 70s so deep

[Flash1959]

my love...

[myblueroad]

Always made/makes me cry

Favorite album of mine

[ncf1]

one of my very favourite EJ songs. Interesting where the line "I'm sorry I took your time I am the poem that doesn't rhyme, just turn back a page, I'll waste away" comes from - a killer named William Milligan who suffered multiple personality disorder.

[cesaresusa]

@ncf1

I don't think so. This album was released in 1971, and Milligan was arrested for the first time in 1975. Hence, nobody had known anything about him until 1975.

[valle77]

One of my favorite songs of him

[redlipstickmafia]

got this album when it came out. loved elton john then. learned all his songs. i was about 11 or 12. haven't heard this stuff in a very long time. lost all my albums in katrina.

[redlipstickmafia]

Got this album when it came out. Loved it learned everything on it.  I was about 11 or 12. I haven't heard this stuff in a long time. Lost all albums in katrina.

[Saywardstudio]

@redlipstickmafia I lost most of my albums in Katrina, too. It made me sick, really, but Madman Across the Water and a Jimi Hendrix album came out unscathed.

[choralstuart]

I have loved this song for so many years

[hyweltthomas]

I'm not really a fan but this song is beautiful.

[Percivaldurham]

I remember when I first heard this song. I bought this album about five years ago and was playing it on my portable CD player while I was out taking a walk. This song stopped me dead in my tracks when it got to "I'll waste away." over and over again. I was just stunned by the very beauty of it all. Thank you for uploading this. Elton from 1969 to 71 is my favorite period for him.

[Opalwitley]

Just turn back the page, I'll waste away....

[stevemagdalena]

Have loved this song since I was 13. I saw Elton on my 21st birthday. It was great, thanks for a great Red Rocks show Elton.

[usmcfutball]

Wicked nice how Bernie's sad lyric connects with EJ's preference for minor keys. Dark...

...but not depressing. Like 'Harmony' at the conclusion of GYBR. Cheers!

[Monkdaddy]

Breath-taking, One of my favorite songs of all time.

[ellonysman]

damn drugs....never stops taking....

[StacyDarling]

i hate missing you

[StacyDarling]

leave me alone

[phillper0906]

Thank you for uploading this album, but this song in particular. This is one of my all time Elton songs.

[heyjude2704]

This song is so poetic. I love the metaphorical lines, though I'm not sure of the meaning of the song overall lol.

[txeire]

i hear ya. a little of this a little of christianity and a little of that. a hodgepodge if u will..

[Elidoransgar]

The relationship is over

But the drug addiction remains

This song is from Reginald's cocaine period.

[PianoShapedObject]

@Elidoransgar No it isn't, this is from several years BEFORE the cocaine started.

[kdiz4shiz]

not a well-known elton song but it is my favorite!!

[elwood51]

I am the poem that doesn't rhyme too

[JANORAMA09]

this is so beautiful...thanx
