It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money, but if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on
She sings the songs
The words she knows
The tune she hums

But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly

Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

She packed my bags last night, preflight
Zero hour, nine am
And I'm gonna be high
As a kite by then

I miss the earth so much
I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Ah, no, no, no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man
Burnin' out his fuse
Up here, alone

And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Ah, no, no, no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man
Burnin' out his fuse
Up here, alone (hold me close, tiny dance)

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
Long, long, and you can tell everybody
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time (a long, long time)
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
