The piano man plays,
A lump forms in my throat,
My eyes sting,
He\'s a rocket man,
And it\'s going to be a long long time.
You sing on with memories of childhood,
I sing on with memories of mine,
I can\'t listen to Daniel ,
Or I think for sure I will cry .
You were just a kid once ,
A dreamer like me ,
Music was your life,
Then you became someone\'s wife .
You hide your tears.
You\'re not unhappy
You\'re just growing old .
I notice some times how you\'re afraid of me ,
Of what I have become ,
You look at me and explain you like the name Levon.
But it looks like Daniel ,
Must be the clouds in my mothers eyes .
