Notes About The Poem

It still feels as empty as the day you left...in fact, more so now.  The longer I'm without you, the more I miss you.

90s Elton beside 70s Elton

- This Is Your Song My Brother -

Daniel my brother this is your song
If there is a God in heaven, not fake or fantasy
He knows you have a good heart
I cry at night, you will understand my pain

If there is a God in heaven, not fake or fantasy
Please dear brother say everything is fine
I cry at night, you will understand my pain
Sorry seems to be the hardest word in the world

Please dear brother say everything is fine 
To forgive, I never got to say goodbye
Sorry seems to be the hardest word in the world
All is gone, this is a goodbye yellow brick road

To forgive, I never got to say goodbye
If I could fly in harmony with thin paper wings
All is gone, this is a goodbye yellow brick road
Now I am alone and lost in the empty sky

If I could fly in harmony with thin paper wings
He knows you have a good heart
Now I am alone and lost in the empty sky
Daniel my brother this is your song
