Looking For My Elton John

I know I'm no Bernie Taupin so, DON'T GO BREAKING MY HEART I know my lyrics are simple every poet needs a place to start I may not be Bernie Taupin I didn't write CROCODILE ROCK but, I know that I too can write the words I just need my Elton John I may not be Bernie Taupin he wrote GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD my mind works in easier concepts no "hunting the horny back toad". I may not be Bernie Taupin creator of BENNIE AND THE JETS but I can write a love song of a life lived with no regrets I may not be Bernie Taupin his hits are way more than a few I may not have an answer to his TINY DANCER but I've danced a mad tango or two I may not be Bernie Taupin, I didn't write YOUR SONG It turned out to be, a song for everybody and not just for THE ONE I may not be Bernie Taupin, who wrote CANDLE IN THE WIND, he struck gold the second time for Diana the first time was for Marilyn I may not be Bernie Taupin by now that's not really news, but I too can write a sad, sad song so, I GUESS THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT THE BLUES I may not be Bernie Taupin and the ROCKET MAN is out of touch but my sad songs also have merit because SAD SONGS SAY SO MUCH I may not be Bernie Taupin, but, I'M STILL STANDING here with NIKITA Bernie can make a hit out of anything even going with DANIEL, to eat pizza I may not be Bernie Taupin but I write footloose and fancy free maybe it's not like PHILADELPHIA FREEDOM but hey! DON'T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON ME Bernie and Elton would both say that it's been no SACRIFICE and, SOMEONE SAVED MY LIFE TONIGHT were lyrics that just felt right It's been an amazing partnership almost 50 years and still going strong Bernie Taupin writes awesome lyrics but the music is all Elton John. So, I may not be Bernie Taupin but I can write lyrics to a song, but a song needs music and a melody guess, I'll keep waiting for my Elton John. John Derek Hamilton December 07,2016
