Save Me-Charlotte Church & All Stars
Elton John · Other Songs - Elton John
They said we made a perfect pair
I clothed myself in your glory and your love
How I loved you
How I cried
Years of care and loyalty
Were nothing but a sham it seems
The years belie we lived the lie
I love you 'til I die
Save me, save me, save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me, save me, ohhhh
I'm naked and I'm far from home
The slate will soon be clean
I'll erase the memories
To start again with somebody new
Was it all wasted
All that love
I hang my head and I advertise
A soul for sale or rent
I have no heart, I'm cold inside
I have no real intent
Save me, save me, save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me, save me, ohhh
I'm naked and I'm far from home
Freak out
Yeah, yeah
Each night I cry, I still believe the lie
I love you, 'til I die
(I die)
Save Me - Charlotte Church & All Stars
Elton John's 'Save Me,' originally recorded with Charlotte Church and a backing ensemble, stands as a poignant tribute to the late Princess Diana. The track blends the artist's signature piano-driven ballad style with a lush orchestral arrangement, capturing the emotional weight of the royal tragedy. Released as a collaborative effort, the recording reflects John's capacity to adapt his classic pop-rock sensibility into a sweeping, cinematic piece of music. It remains a significant song in his discography, often featured in compilations alongside other major works like 'Candle in the Wind.' The song's enduring appeal lies in its ability to convey deep sorrow and admiration, resonating with listeners who remember the cultural impact of the Princess Diana memorial service.
