It was the first song recorded in a cassete that i gave my girlfriend 33 years ago.
Now I am 57 and she passed away, she left last weekend. I miss her but I still have this song alive here with me. RIP Cassia.
Be strong Edson..
@@alexandrealos5407 thanks Alexandre...life goes on.
Emocionante
I am so sorry for your loss.
It must be hard. Try to cope.
I think this is possibly the best song ever written. So pure.
Definitely one of the best

I lost my grandfather yesterday... This is his song. I really love him. But I know he would love for me to keep on going and demolish all challenges in life... Blessed to have him as my grandad
I'll probably reflect on this song for a long time, long after my dad passes (hopefully many years from now). it reminds me of him. I sang it for him on his birthday last year. The most wonderful man I've ever known. My father.
Meu brother siga firme, um abraço!! 🍺🍺🗿🗿
RIP to Grandpa
My boyfriend that past away told me this was his song to me. & every word just touches my soul. Rip sweet joshua.❤
Sounds like Joshua found a good one. RIP Joshua, not forgotten.
This was my Mom's favorite song. How wonderful life was while she was in the world.
I'm sure it was.
Soery about my mistakes!
Indeed the world was better than today's
my moms favorite song too, bless.
My mother's favourite song was " Tie a Yellow Ribbon round the oak tree it's been 3 long years.. " Or " This year I'm off to sunny Spain eviva Espanya ,I 'm taking the costa Brava plane eviva Espanya ! If you'd like to chat a Matador in some cool Cabanya ,Espanya por fav vor !!! And she used to play them continuously at full volume and sing at at full volume as well especially after 3 babychams ! ( one more likely ! ) I wanted to get the vynyl records off the turntable and smash them up ! But couldn't because I was only about four !
I’ve always been so impressed with Elton’s piano playing. He makes it look so effortless
He started at a very young age and was trained at the royal academy of music in London as a boy
that's what great musician do
Elton and Billy did "Piano Man" together, was epic, both virtuosos with 88s

My grandmother passed away today, and this song make me think about how gentle and genuine she was 1937-2021

Most of my life I wanted so badly to love someone enough to relate this song to them..then I had my son Connor. This is for him. I think it's everyone's journey to find that person this song is for in their life.
Same with my dear Leo ❤
@@fredericgiraud7837 beautiful ❤️
❤ yes. Beautiful
One of the most honest songs ever written. Bernie deserves MASSIVE credit on this and Elton delivers. Bernie's contribution is up there with the best.
And Bernie was SEVENTEEN when he wrote it!!
@@LittleMissHoop unbelievable but true. Amazing for any 17 year old at any time to write such beautiful lyrics about pure friendship.
Who's "Bernie" ?
@@TheDarkDutchman watch rocketman
Bernie wrote the lyrics to most of Eltons hits.
I met my wife while overseas and fell in love immediately. My ship left and we wrote letters. I copied down the words and mailed it in a box with this song the first cut on my mix tape of songs for her. I worked her Visa, she came to California, we built that house, 4 daughters and 5 grandchildren and 35 years later THIS SONG has always been in our house.
Cute story
Inspiring
❤
Nice to hear their are good ones
❤
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Well done Bernie and Elton.
EMOTIONALLY SPIRITUAL.
It truly is …❤️ I adore it
100% its right up there with god only knows by the beach boys.hearing this he was destined for superstardom.truly brilliant.
Absolutely..🫶
YES. True fans know it's Bernie and Elton...and to hell with
Reginald Kenneth Dwight lol.
It is one of the best ever TOTP performances
was TOTP lip synching?
My father once heard this song come on while we were driving. He told me that if he ever died, to play this for our mom at his funeral. I did that for him in march of 21’.
Rip to your father
❤
RIP to your father 🙏🏼😭 Beautiful song I bet she relived her years with him over this 1 song

This song was playing right after my father died before my eyes. This was his favorite song..... This song has a bittersweet impact on me.

That is beautiful
Sorry for your loss ❤️

Rip to your dad🙏🏽
Sorry for your loss💗
One of the prettiest songs ever written

We all grow old but this is how I want to remember Elton the way he looked then this is how I will remember him. I love his artistic expression. Very unique.
Me too
Elton John's early songs were so iconic but this one still cuts right through me every time I hear it.

He is truly an amazing artist and person. He can write, sing and be true to who he is when all the world is watching. Thanks for reminding us to love and appreciate each other in the world.

I Love this song so much It's to my son!!! I have nothing to leave him when I'm gone but my Love for this song... I've had cancer and have no idea when it wi return so this is all I have to give him is my love for elton songs
Date
I saw Elton John sing this song live when I was 20 years old. It is timeless, a song that will always remind me of my friends and places that I loved and miss.
Kind of timeful then isn't it
Damn how old are u now
all his songs are timeless.
The day my first son was born, my husband sang this song to him in the hospital. I’ll never forget it. Everything was perfect for that moment 2003. ❤️
This is very warm to hear it🤗
And I hope everything is just as perfect today......
@@AM-ok5xc Merry Christmas
I love Elton...I miss these days. So carefree. What happened to our world? Love this
Liberalism happened.
@WhatEver-wr7gTotally Agree!!!!!
Elton was a real genius when it came to soft rock ballads like this one
Edit: Bernie too ofc
He still is
@@matthiask.7678 that's exactly what i just thought
@Tali Mercury I think in this case it's about the melody.
Tali Mercury loool he wrote the lyrics
The thing is, the melody and composing define what the song will be like. Lyrics are just the base of every song. I would say the work that Bernie and Elton did would propably go like 70-30 to Elton
My father dedicated this song when I was 13yrs old when I here this now I cry he died of colon cancer. And I miss him alot

My feelings
Hugs!
Mine passed of colon cancer as well Dec 20 2017
@@jamiemaxen2301 no its not
How does a song so complex and carefully constructed sound so simple and pure? Bernie and Elton were amazing together.
when i hear the opening chords of that piano riff i always imagine this could have been the template for the tune of "Cheers" That piano is mighty composers tool.
Yup people say ‘Elton john’, but it’s Elton and Bernie.
I actually think elton wrote this one

I just saw Elton perform tonight live at his farewell tour. He still has this stage presence and sounds just as amazing. What a privilege to have seen him perform!!!
I'd do AAA anything!!!!!
Your a fanny hahahahahaha jk
Agreed! Saw Elton John during the 80's in Central Park NYC. He was great then & is great now. Live on Rocket Man! 🚀
I’m going in July!!!
well lets be honest he doesnt actually sound just as amazing, your just being nice, its no secret his voice has gotten worse over the years, as would any singers voice over what 40 years?
Can we bubble wrap Elton to keep him safe. We do not have many left like him any more,,,,,
No we don't have many left like him. I thank the Lord he was so much a part of my young years
So true...
And when they’re gone we will never see their kind again. So sad that the music died.
@@davidseals352 yes it is, todays music is so trash, its a shame
@@trope5105 today music is so thrash, so many toxic and dirty word, i dont know how people can like that
What a talent. I didn't appreciate him enough in my younger days.
Same to me
My wife says it's the same thing. She's 48 now and is in love with him.
When I was younger I didn't care for anything but heavy metal. I now really appreciate Elton John, Journey and dozens of other bands and musical genres I dismissed back then.
Me too....I was 17 in 1977...Punk music and all that, now 64...things have slightly quieten down thus listening to the music that passed me by at that time...
FACTS ❤
When they say music is timeless. My parents were still teenagers during this performance, but I identity with this song like I was born on the 70s. Beautiful! 2021!
I agree; it's timeless ... and with a tot of Calvados it's good stuff ....
I wear crazy sunglasses cause of this man, I learned to play piano and now am a vocal coach. He doesn’t know what he has given me 🥹🥹🥹
My mother used to sing this to me to make me fall asleep. I still love it to this day.
That's really sweet!
I've been singing this song to my son since he was born (actually I used to sing it in utero!) and now he's 4, we still sing it every night.
I sang it to both of my daughters as infants at night.
Awwwe. 😇
So cute❤
This is the love song I always sang to my sweet horse. She loved it. She has passed on now and this song brings back sweet memories of all the time and trails we shared.
Funny, at 72, this was from '72 or so. This has been with me my whole life. How do I thank someone (elton john) for giving me this song to carry me through life. What we owe him is beyond my ability to conceive. God Bless Elton.
And Queen
The Beatles
Michael Jackson
And basically any music group raging from late 60s and late 80s. And even before that
Also Jason Adran Like Bryon and Luke Combs. Im a consevative woma
Me too 72.
Me not 72 but was around in 72 that is 1972 ?
@@thedarkgunslinger2869 and mireille mathieu also
I wonder what the crowd was thinking? How could they know that 50 years later, he's still going.... My favorite by him for always..💜💜💜
Maybe still going but with a completely different sounding voice in every single way. Its like two completely different singers from different eras ans vocal ranges singing the same song. This was his peak and will always ALWAYS be the definitive version. Its beyond beautiful it never faults to make my heart swell and my lip quivers every time reminiscing on past mistakes and past experiences with past partners
One of the best songs in my teens. I had the lyrics on a paper on the wall in my room. I was fourteen, 1974...and it's still one of the best songs. Love from Sweden
Omg yes!!!! That's how we did it!!!! Rewind, pause, play, until we had every word🥰

The day I met my future wife, I walked over to ask her to dance and this song came on. This was the first song we ever danced together. Translating to Spanish for her as we danced sealed the deal, we were married 6 months later, and 40 years later I still love her.
Well done french man.

Was she Spanish?
@@pup1008 Yes
What a beautiful and gifted voice. And as a side note Bernie Taupin is a great songwriter.
Mark Astoforoff Bernie wrote this at 18 years of age too. What a talent.
I sang this to my dad on his 60th birthday. Because he's amazing and the world is so much better with him in it.
That's beautiful
Lovely, that’s truly moving
Putting Elton John & Bernie Taupin together to write music together was one of the greatest things ever to happen to music. Bernie’s lyrics & Elton’s melodies & voice = pure magic
I met my father when I was 39 years old. It turned out to be one of the most special experiences of my life. We talked for months every Sunday before I met him in person. As I got to know him, I felt blessed. I played this song ALL the time because I felt how wonderful my life was with my dad in the world. I had him for 2 years, as he passed away from throat cancer in 2006. I never felt cheated but blessed that I had him in my life for any time at all.
C Williams well sometime a quality short time moment is more memorable
C Williams oh HONEY so sorry for your loss. but a perfect song.
I feel your pain 😥
I felt cheated ..I lost my best freind my Dad...my heart is broken for all my days ...and that's that...all good things come to an end
Sad life story. R.I.P ‘your’ dad
My hubby loved singing this song to me in karaoke and I always thought how gushy it was but he would come back to me teary eyed. He passed away from covid on February 10,2022, my daughters and I let him go and held him until his last breath.
RIP my sweetheart 💔 💔 💔
I am so sorry for your loss. I sing this to my husband and cry everytime
I'm so sorry
I crying right now seeing your commnt...
😭😭😭😭😭❤
I am so sorry
My parents played this song growing up,my dad played it for my mom all the time, now I'm 37 and everytime I hear it I pray that this is how my husband feels, I associate this song with my parents kind of love, I strive for this kind of love. They've been married over 30 years.
My love for Elron John has NEVER DIED. I am so blessed to have been here in this era.❤🎉❤🎉❤
This song is one of the most covered songs ever... but no matter how many people cover this, Elton’s version will always be the best

Correction, the most covered sing in history is Yesterday by The Beatles, but this one is still very covered.
Jennifer Hansen
That’s why he wrote _one of the most covered_ 😉
Telling my age here, but when I was in college, I had a boyfriend that was a DJ for a radio station. My college was about 2 and a half hours from where he worked, but if I sat on my dorm room window ledge with my radio antenna pointed out, I could pick him up. Every night between 9-10 he would play a song that I knew was just for me. This was the one he played the most often.
In 2 weeks, I'll see Elton John in concert again for the 5th and probably final last time.
omg please enjoy the concert. i’ve been begging my mom for tickets
This is amazing so romantic. Youre very lucky
stfu
Beautiful story
That's a good story. It should be borrowed for a movie scene.
I've heard many, many, versions of this song. But this performance is by far the best ! Unbelievable natural talent. Sir John. Just takes this old man . "Me". Back in time , if only for a moment.
"anyway, the thing is, what I really mean... yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen"
And still I can't avoid breaking into tears anytime I hear this.
He sang that as I read this lol.
Honestly idk why but, every time I hear this song it makes me cry, and I get the most beautiful feeling when I listen to it... I just love it
HIS BEST.
This song is full of pure emotions ❤
I love it so much too. I sing it to my granddaughters.
My dad rarely sings yet he loved singing to this song. I played this for him every night while he was battling for his life in the ICU. I miss him everyday.
stay strong vicky 💘
Dedico questo pezzo musicale a ELENA!....ti amo...ELENA!!....
Elton John is one of the best to ever grace us with his beautiful music. Anyone who has been lucky enough to live in the time of his breakout in music.........throughout his career......and still able to listen to and appreciate his greatness that is still shining today should consider themselves lucky. He is one star that will never fade out.
His music is like wine, the older they get the better !!!
I was young when he burst into the music world. Just amazing, song after song. He’ll never be forgotten. I’m glad I was here to see and love it all.
my fav part of the lyrics is“ how wonderful life is while ur in the world “
that is just very intense omg

Such a beautiful song. It's amazing how elton john can look at words written for a song and turn it into this! Incredible!!
I was just thinking that like how does that even happen! It just blows my mind!
a divine talent, that's why
I spent four months in a home for unwed mothers when this song came out. It brings back many feels
This song is simply a timeless classic. It is a song for anyone and everyone who fell in love.
I don't see what's it got to do with falling in love but more community and getting along even blue and brown eyes aren't the only demise. Like. Variety in life.

Always makes me think of my Aunt Val. My father and all his family were in a target and Rocketman the best of Elton John was in a CD bin for $9.99.

Had the privilege of seeing Elton a couple weeks ago in Bristol. Effortless performance from a true professional. Such a timeless sound compared to 99.9% of modern music.
Saw him last week in Swansea , absolutely brilliant 🤩
Wow, 53 years ago since Elton performed this great song. I got married right after that year in 1972 and me and my sweetie are still in love and together every day.

Timeless song, that will be enjoyed and appreciated for generations to come

Sir Elton John is one of those rare talents...his songs are lovely melodically as well as lyrically ( thanks to Bernie Taupin). Great song!
I have always told my daughter this is Your Song ever since she was a little girl. She is 30 now and this is still her song!😢
This is the best version- Elton believed the rawness and the interpretation of the words from Bernie. In 2021 I think the song has been diluted in its true meaning - Elton was always looking for the “best song this was it...right under his nose and performed brilliantly for decades.

This song is truly a universal expression of sweet, gentle, true, true love. What a melody, and the lyrics are unbelievably wonderful. My best friend sings this for me sometimes, and I sang it back to him, substituting "girl" for "man" and "brown" for "blue", heh.. His eyes are hazel but they really are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen. I love him so much. This song is pretty darn special to me now

From 1971 to now i am here i still remember first hearing this song , i said to my mum " this is going to be hit " still loving it just as much now 🥰
Beautiful song, I've listened since my teens and there are 50 years !!!
Elton John is pure talent !!!
Listen to the version of ALBERTO URSO, a Young Italian multi-instrumental tenor, art and magic; An emerging talent of italian music.
50 years after this song, i can´t believe it.... please give elton at least 50 more years of great music like this
Big Elton’s a national treasure 🇬🇧
He's gorgeous. Talent like that bestows a glow upon him that's just simply stunning.
He is a cutie...rocking that shag.
One of the things that always make Elton's performance so beautiful was the innocence but amazing piano playing he was always renowned for. This is one of the greatest examples
The mark of a great song is how well it holds up over the long span of time. This one stands the test of time. Beautiful song...and will always be.
My Fiancé from the time he met always played his guitar and sang this song to me and it was always so moving every time he sang it to me with all the Love in his eyes pouring out of his Heart into mine and I could see that he was feeling every word. He was sadly taken from me when he was killed on his Motocycle 40 years ago before we could be married, on his way home from work being stuck by someone who didn't see him. I Never stop missing him & This song will always be very Special & deeply meaningful to me and always moves me deeply often bringing tears....., it will always and Forever be my favorite song. He taught me so much about Life and I was Blessed to share the years with him I did. I always listen to it especially on his Birthday and dedicate it to him.
I listened this song 42 years ago, in a very special moment of my life , they were so magic moments, that when I listen again to this song, those moments comes again to my mind , as if it' s now.
❤
Love this song and all the other songs on this first album by Elton and Bernie.
