Lyrics by Bernie Taupin



Did you see the first man on the moon?

Have you seen the first light of day?

When there wasn't someone stuck inside

Something like the moon

Something like a star that's lost its way

Did you go to Dallas on that day?

Have you been to where they broke a dream?

Where there really isn't room for doubt

Somehow we got lost

And the truth is buried somewhere inbetween



And everyone, everywhere

Take time and dry your eyes

'Cause too many tears, too many tears

Have been cried

Just look into that beautiful blue

That beautiful blue, blue sky

And know too many tears, too many tears

Have been cried



The mystery of why they had to leave

I'm only one of thousands saying why

Why a balcony in Memphis Tennessee

Seems trapped in time

Just an angry finger pointing at the sky



Would you wait to stand inside his shoes?

And is the best all you have to give

The barefoot man lived a simple life

I guess he knew

Something's die so other things might live



So everyone, everywhere

Take time and dry your eyes

'Cause too many tears, too many tears

Have been cried

Just look into that beautiful blue

That beautiful blue, blue sky

And know too many tears, too many tears

Have been cried



Oh come on everyone, everywhere

Take time and dry your eyes

'Cause too many tears, too many tears

Have been cried

Just look into that beautiful blue

That beautiful blue, blue sky

And know too many tears, too many tears

Have been cried
