We Are Fall In Love Sometimes By Elton John
Wise men say 'it looks like rain today'
It crackled on the speakers
And trickled down the sleepy subway trains
For heavy eyes could hardly hold us
Aching legs that often told us it's all worth it
We all fall in love sometimes
The full moon's bright
And starlight filled the evening
We wrote it and I played it
Something happened - it's so strange this feeling
Naive notions that were childish
Simple tunes that tried to hide it, but when it comes
We all fall in love sometimes
Did we, didn't we, should we, couldn't we
I'm not sure 'cause sometimes we're so blind
Struggling to the day when even your best friend says, "Don't you find
We all fall in love sometimes?"
And only passing time
Could kill the boredom we acquire
Running with the losers for a while
But our Empty Sky was filled with laughter
Just before the flood - painting worried faces with a smile
(Repeat 1st Verse)
CURTAINS:
I used to know this old scarecrow
He was my song, my joy and sorrow
Cast alone between the furrows
Of a field no longer sown by anyone
I held a dandelion that said the time had come
To leave upon the wind - not to return
When summer burned the earth again
Cultivate the freshest flower this garden ever grew
Beneath these branches I once wrote such childish words for you
But that's okay - there's treasure children always seek to find
And just like us you must have had a once upon a time
Lonely, lovely lady...

Mini Biography
Sir Elton John is one of pop music's great survivors. Born 25 March, 1947, as Reginald Kenneth Dwight, he started to play the piano at the early age of four. At the age of 11, he won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music. His first band was called Bluesology. He later auditioned (unsuccessfully) as lead singer for the progressive rock bands King Crimson and Gentle Giant. Dwight teamed up with lyricist Bernie Taupin and changed his name to Elton John (merging the names of saxophonist Elton Dean and Long John Baldry). The duo wrote songs for Lulu and Roger Cook. In the early 1970s, he recorded the concept album "Tumbleweed Connection." He became the most successful pop artist of the 1970s, and he has survived many different pop fads including punk, the New Romantics and Britpop to remain one of Britain's most internationally acclaimed musicians.
Elton John announced he was a bisexual in 1976, and in 1984, he married Renate Blauel. The marriage lasted four years before he finally came to terms with the fact that he was actually homosexual. In the 1970s and 1980s, he suffered from drug and alcohol addiction and bulimia but came through it. He is well known as a campaigner for AIDS research and he keeps his finger on the pulse of modern music, enjoying artists such as Eminem, Radiohead, Coldplay and Robbie Williams. He was knighted in 1997.
