Teardrops
Elton John · Other Songs - Elton John
Whenever i hear good-byes, remind me baby of you
I break down and cry, next time i'll be true, yeah
Fever for lost romance, remind me baby of you
i took a crazy chance and next time i'll be true, i'll be true, i'll be true
Footsteps on the dancefloor, remind me baby of you
Teardrops in my eyes, next time i'll be true, yeah
Whispers in the powder room, she cries on every tune, every tune, every tune
And the music dont feel like it did when i felt it with you
Nothing that i do or feel ever feels like i felt it with you
When im dancing round, remind me baby of you
I really let you down, next time i'll be true yeah
I took a crazy chance, she cries on every tune, every tune, every tune
Footsteps on the dancefloor, remind me baby of you
Teardrops in my eyes, next time i'll be true yeah
Whispers in the powder room, she cries on every tune, every tune, every tune
And the music dont feel like it did when i felt it with you
Nothing that i do or feel ever feels like i felt it with you
Hurting deep inside, she cries on every tune
I break down and cry, she cries on every tune, every tune, every tune
Footsteps on the dancefloor remind me baby of you
Teardrops in my eyes, next time i'll be true yeah
Whispers in the powder room, she cries on every tune, every tune, every tune
And the music dont feel like it did (no, no) when i felt it with you (no, no)
Nothing that i do or feel ever feels (never feels) like i felt it with you (no, no)
And the music dont feel like it did (no, no) when i felt it with you
Nothing that i do or feel ever feels like i felt it with you (woahhh, woahh, woahhh, woooooahhhh)

Teardrops - Elton John
Released in 1990, 'Teardrops' stands as a poignant ballad from Elton John's later period, reflecting on the passage of time and the inevitability of aging. The track features a distinctive piano-driven arrangement that underscores its melancholic narrative, characteristic of John's mature songwriting style. While often associated with his broader catalog of romantic and reflective pieces, this recording captures a specific emotional resonance, focusing on the quiet sorrow of growing older. It serves as a testament to his ability to craft deeply personal yet universally relatable music, maintaining the melodic sophistication that has defined his career since the 1970s.
