Lyric It s Me That You Need

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Released as a UK single in May, 1969

Hey there
Look in the mirror
Are you afraid you might see me looking at you
Waiting, waiting at windows
Oh it s me that you need
Yes it s me and I m waiting for you

But I remain silent
Oh I won t say a word
I leave you to realise I m the light in your world
And it s me, yes it s me, yes it s me, yes it s me
That you re needing
It s me, yes it s me, yes it s me, yes it s me
That you need
Yes it s me, yes it s me, yes it s me
If you want to be living
I m the one who s forgiving
Admit that it s me that you need


Watching, watching the swallows fly
It all means the same
Just like them
You can fly home again
But don t, no don t forget yesterday
Pride is an ugly word girl
And you still know my name
