I GUESS THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT THE BLUES

ELTON JOHN

COMPOSITOR:  song by British singer Elton John, with music by John and lyrics by Bernie Taupin and Davey Johnstone.

PRODUTOR: Chris Thomas

 álbum: Too Low for Zero

GÊNERO: SOFT ROCK

Data de lançamento: 1983

Too Low For Zero é o décimo sétimo álbum de estúdio do cantor e compositor britânico Elton John, lançado em 1983.

Pela primeira vez desde Blue Moves, em 1976, todas as letras foram escritas por Bernie Taupin, que continua nesta tarefa até os dias atuais. Por insistência da Taupin, Elton decidiu voltar ao básico e retornou ao trabalho a tempo integral com Taupin. Elton também se reuniu com o núcleo de sua banda de apoio do início dos anos 70: Dee Murray, Nigel Olsson e Davey Johnstone.

O álbum foi produzido por Chris Thomas e gravado no Air Studios em Montserrat e Sunset Sound Recorders em Hollywood. Pela primeira vez desde Empty Sky, Elton toca todos os teclados do álbum e ele faria o mesmo nos próximos.

Don't wish it away

Don't look at it like it's forever

Between you and me I could honestly say

That things can only get better

And while I'm away

Dust out the demons inside

And it won't be long before you and me run

To the place in our hearts where we hide

And I guess that's why they call it the blues

Time on my hands could be time spent with you

Laughing like children, living like lovers

Rolling like thunder under the covers

And I guess that's why they call it the blues

Just stare into space

Picture my face in your hands

Live for each second without hesitation

And never forget I'm your man

Wait on me girl

Cry in the night if it helps

But more than ever I simply love you

More than I love life itself

And I guess that's why they call it the blues

Time on my hands could be time spent with you

Laughing like children, living like lovers

Rolling like thunder under the covers

And I guess that's why they call it the blues

Wait on me girl, cry in the night if it helps

But more than ever

I simply love you more than I love life itself

And I guess that's why they call it the blues

Time on my hands could be time spent with you

Laughing like children, living like lovers

Rolling like thunder under the covers

And I guess that's why they call it the blues

And I guess that's why they call it the blues

And I guess that's why they call it the blues
