You Can Make History (Young Again)
Elton John · Other Songs - Elton John
I can feel the years crawling through my skin
And if i doubt myself I can count on the rain
To cover the tears of this aging game
But I can count on you to play your part
I don't miss a beat of your animal heart
And when you push from behind I know I can
Cover a mountain with the palm of my hand
*Chorus*
And oh babe, you can make history young again
You could rewrite, you could decide
The things that should, or shouldn't have been
You could look at me in the scheme of things
Oh babe, you can make history young again
I can watch the weeks sweeping by
I can recollect the hearts hanging out to dry
When the world shuts down I can touch my fears
I can hear lost youth ringing in my ears
But I lost nothing when I gained you
You just blew me away with yesterday's news
When you run your fingers down my spine
It's like throwing a switch on the hands of time
*Chorus*
And oh babe, you can make history young again
You could rewrite, you could decide
The things that should, or shouldn't have been
You could look at me in the scheme of things
Oh babe, you can make history young again
Ancient minds, ancient lives
Got a way of coming around
If i knew then what i knew now
I'd make it back to you somehow
*chorus*
