When The First Tear Shows by Elton John

Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Never released

Hold my hand girl much tighter, much much tighter
'cause what i've got to say i only hope and pray
Comes out as well as i rehearsed it yesterday

And baby when the first tear shows
It's a sign for you to go
And baby when the first tear shows
It's a sign for you to go and leave her alone
With the broken dreams that she owns


It's a crime for me to tell you
It's a sin for me to stay
And i'll never look behind me
When i start to walk away
Firl i'm sorry but it's all that i can say


You know that i used to love you so
Enjoy every moment together
Well i'm not the kind of man
To forever hold your hand
And i've said as much as i should say
