Right Before My Eyes

muzyka: Elton John
słowa: Bernie Taupin

How illuminous he looks to me
So radient and glorious
One savage kiss is all he needs
To change his life and make this night victorious

What princes of the moon we'd be
Two blazing beacons in the dark
Desire drives me to take him now
No force on earth will ever tear him from my heart

But why do I go back and forth
What is this doubt that clouds my thoughts
Don't waste the chance and let the night pass by
He's mind to take, He's right before my eyes

And so my concious speaks to me
Of selfishness and consequence
The danger that from death I'd make
A stolen soul no longer blessed with innocence

But such a kingdom could be ours
A wonderous world beyond compare
Would his bright fire not wish it so
Surely he'd agree this gift is one that should be shared

So why do I go back and forth
What is this doubt that clouds my thoughts
Don't waste a chance and let the night pass by
He's mine to take, He's right before my eyes

Everything I really need is standing here in front of me
The one thing that my heart should not deny
Is out of reach and right before my eyes
Is out of reach but right before my eyes...



reprise:

Dear God, he could have had a life
But I was never strong enough.
I let my dark consume his light
When my will was overshadowed by his love.

So will you bring him home tonight?
I need to know he's in your hands.
God, guide his soul and give him wings to fly.
He's Yours to take.
He's right before Your eyes.

And now his life slips through my hands.
His gentle soul leaves on the wind.
A broken angel finds release
From all my selfish dreams the darkness brings.

So what do I do now?
He's gone, I'm left alone and so unsure.
Guide me now and give me tears to cry.
When all I loved died right before my eyes.
