Elton John - Daniel (lyrics)

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
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes

They say Spain is pretty though I've never been
Well Daniel says it's the best place that he's ever seen
Oh and he should know, he's been there enough
Lord 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 is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
Oh God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes

Daniel is the name of my brother that died when he was 8 months old and i was four years old.

even though i so young i miss him and think about him every day, i am 40 years old now.

This song reminds me of "ALL" my fallen fellow Marines, family, and friends. It really will touch your soul if you open up to it.

[Colvillecr]

My understanding is that the song is about leaving his mentally retarded brother at the hospital.

@mrbluto3 no song should ever need an explaination. everything u know is in the song. (of course daniel is dead in this song)

[mrbluto3]

Was there ever an explanation about this song? Daniel was blind heading to Spain, but the end you get the feeling Daniel died. This one of my all time favorite songs.

@TopTenCrew You're acting like a jerk. You don't have the right to say ANY of those things about someone's father, ESPECIALLY when you don't know them ! Shame on you !

My father´s brother just died, and i was listening to this song with him when all of a sudden my dad started to cry and he told me it was the first song my uncle showed him, i dont know why im commenting this but it was really painful to see my father like that.
