never too old to hold somebody

Elton John

Don t abandon the light
Don t step away
Don t give up that tune
That you never could play
If you re folding your tent
And the gas pipes groan
If every bone rattles
Through nights all alone
Well you re tougher than leather
No old burlap sack
Not some hard scrabble weed
Growing up through the cracks

chorus
Don t you know, you re never too old
You re never too old to hold somebody
Don t you know, you re never too old
You re never too old to hold somebody
You re never too old to hold somebody

Don t think you ve gone out
Don t flicker and fade
If you re gonna get lemons
Then you do what they say
The wind makes you weary
Oh it knocks you around
Logs on the fire
Beats sun shining down
But you re harder than nails
No skinny old tack
You re still sharp as a razor
And I like you like that

[repeat chorus]

I could bet on a horse
But I m betting on you
You ve still got what it takes
You got nothing, nothing to prove
[repeat chorus]
