--- Start Of Daniel By Elton John --

Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights ... heading for spain oh and
I can see daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like daniel ... must be the clouds in my eyes

They say spain is pretty though Ive never been
Well daniel says its the best place ... that hes ever seen oh and
He should know hes been there enough
Lord I miss daniel ... oh I miss him so much oh and

Daniel my brother ... you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain ... of the scars that wont heal
Your eyes have died ... but you see more than I
Daniel youre a star ... in the face of the sky

BREAK ohhh ooh and ...

Daniel my brother ... you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain ... of the scars that wont heal
Your eyes have died ... but you see more than I
Daniel youre a star ... in the face of the sky

Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights ... heading for spain oh and
I can see daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like daniel ... must be the clouds in my eyes
God it looks like daniel ... must be the clouds in my eyes
