It's a little bit funny this feeling inside I'm not one of those who can easily hide I don't have much money, but if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple, but now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world Piano man he makes his stand In the auditorium Looking on She sings the songs The words she knows The tune she hums But oh how it feels so real Lying here with no one near Only you and you can hear me When I say softly, slowly Hold me closer, tiny dancer Count the headlights on the highway Lay me down in sheets of linen You had a busy day today She packed my bags last night, preflight Zero hour, nine am And I'm gonna be high As a kite by then I miss the earth so much I miss my wife It's lonely out in space On such a timeless flight And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time 'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home Ah, no, no, no I'm a rocket man Rocket man Burnin' out his fuse Up here, alone And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time 'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home Ah, no, no, no I'm a rocket man Rocket man Burnin' out his fuse Up here, alone (hold me close, tiny dance) And I think it's gonna be a long, long time Long, long, and you can tell everybody And I think it's gonna be a long, long time (a long, long time) And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
