Lyric of the Day

I have had an intense love for this song for about 10 years. It always reminds me of the scene from Almost Famous where the band sing it in the bus when they are on tour. As they reminisce, I do. It puts me in a really happy place. It is melodic, well-written, sincere and simply beautiful, the way a song should be. Thank you Elton, you and your sunglasses. 


"Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band 
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man 
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand 
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand...

...Hold me closer tiny dancer 
Count the headlights on the highway 
Lay me down in sheets of linen 
you had a busy day today..."
- Tiny Dancer by Elton John
