This song is ridiculously beautiful. The music and the lyrics. I think it's Bernie Taupin's best effort lyrically, because I also think he wrote it for his wife/g.f.? If you look at the liner notes from the Too Low for Zero CD upon which this song was released, it says "This ones for you, Toni" or somethign to that effect. It really is a great song, and there's reason to believe it really came from the heart.
