"You Can Make History (Young Again)


Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Released as a single in th USA in 1996

I can find the time closing in
I can feel the years crawling in my skin
And if I doubt myself I can count on the rain
To cover the tears of this aging game

I can count on you to play your part
I don't miss a beat of your animal heart
And when you push from behind I know I can
Cover a mountain with the palm of my hand

Oh babe, you can make history young again
You could rewrite, you can decide
What should or shouldn't have been
You could look at me in the scheme of things
O babe, you can make history yount again

I can watch the weeks sweeping by
I can recollect the hearts hanging out to dry
When the world shuts down I can touch my fears
I can hear lost youth ringing in my ears

But I lost nothing when I gained you
You just blew me away with yesterdays news
When you run your fingers down my spine
It's like blowin a switch on the hands of time
