For me, Elton and Bernie are so successful because they paint visually with both the lyrics and music. One powerful example:
“Yes i’ll sit with you and talk, and let your eyes relive again.”
A foreshadowing of what will certainly be us one day - in our older years, perhaps visiting with a dear friend from our youth, and looking back on life. The concept of letting your eyes “relive again” infers sifting through memories until arriving at a place where our minds can zoom in and focus clearly on a given time earlier in life. Someday, It may be hard to do. This song frames it quite well, like none i’ve Ever heard. I often quote the lyrics to my 16 year old son, and share with him that this will be his Dad one day. But I hope to live way past 60.
