Gershwin Prize

(audience applause).

("Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me").

I can't light, No more of your darkness.

All my pictures seem to fade to black and white.

I'm growing tired And time stands still before me.

Frozen here, on the ladder of my life.

It's too late, To save myself from falling.

I took a chance, And changed your way of life.

But you misread, My meaning when I met you.

Closed the door And left me blinded by the light.

Don't let the sun go down on me.

(Don't let the sun).

Although I search myself, There's always someone else I see.

I'd just allow a fragment of your life, To wander free.

'Cause losing everything, Is like the sun going down on me.

(piano solo).

I can't find, Oh, the right romantic line.

But see me once, And see the way I feel, yeah.

Don't discard me, Just because you think I mean you harm.

But these cuts I have, They need love to help them heal.

Oh.

Don't let the sun go down on me.

(Don't let the sun).

Although I search myself, There's always someone else I see.

I'd just allow a fragment of your life, To wander free.

'Cause losing everything, Is like the sun going down on me.

Don't let the sun go down on me.

Although I search myself, There's always someone else I see.

I'd just allow a fragment of your life, To wander free.

'Cause losing everything, Is like the sun going down on me.

We love you, Elton and Bernie.

Thank you.
