You Can Make History (Young Again)
Music: Elton JohnLyrics: Bernie Taupin
I can feel the time closing inI can feel the years crawling through my skinAnd if I doubt myself I can count on the rainTo cover the tears of this aging game
But I can count on you to play your partI don't miss a beat of your animal heartAnd when you push from behind I know I canCover a mountain with the palm of my hand
And oh babe, you can make history young againYou could rewrite, you could decideThe things that should or shouldn't have beenYou could look at me in the scheme of thingsOh babe, you could make history young again
I can watch the weeks sweeping byI can recollect the hearts hanging out to dryWhen the world shuts down I can touch my fearsI can hear lost youth ringing in my ears
But I lost nothing when I gained youYou just blew me away with yesterdays newsWhen you run your fingers down my spineIt's like throwing a switch on the hands of time
Ancient minds, ancient livesGot a way of coming aroundIf I knew then what I know nowI'd make it back to you somehow
