Long Way From Happiness

Music by elton john

Lyrics by bernie taupin

Available on the album the big picture



I guess you're okay

You seem to feel better these days

I've known you for so long

I've seen your brightness go from blue to grey



You know that's true

You can shake your head but i can prove

I've seen things through your eyes

You think you win but in the end you lose





And there's no second guess

We take no second bets

Chances are we're a long way from happiness

Don't cover up the road to love

With words that can't express

The truth implies you're high and dry

And you're a long way from happiness





I'm one step behind

Looking out for you all the time

I'll put my faith in you

And steer you clear of love that leaves you blind
