Big man in a little suit
par Elton John

Oh I´ve been staying up nights
Thinking about a long flight that could take me home
Or a slow train rolling
Or a big boat floating out there on that lonely ocean
I´m not the man I was
I guess the dark side lost and the sun broke through
I thought I knew it all
I was the next big thing until I thought about you
Oh I was reaching for the stars
When I wasn´t even touching you
I was lying to myself, I needed no one´s help
thought I was living proof
When there´s one set of footsteps
No one´s gonna fill your shoes
Now I´m looking in the mirror
At a big man in a little suit
I´m a big man in a little suit
It´s tight on me, hard on you
It´s a short cut but it´s a long way home
When you think you can make it on you own
You think you´re bulletproof
But what you really are
Is a big man in a little suit
I was part of the chain
A face with no name in a place with no soul
By a thief in the night
I was robbed of the light and left nothing, nothing to hold
I´ve turned my back on a world like that
I want to get back to loving you
Give me one more chance
Won´t you warm the hands of this cold headed fool
Thinking about a long flight that could take me home
Or a slow train rolling
Or a big boat floating out there on that lonely ocean
I´m not the man I was
I guess the dark side lost and the sun broke through
I thought I knew it all
I was the next big thing until I thought about you
Oh I was reaching for the stars
When I wasn´t even touching you
I was lying to myself, I needed no one´s help
thought I was living proof
When there´s one set of footsteps
No one´s gonna fill your shoes
Now I´m looking in the mirror
At a big man in a little suit
I´m a big man in a little suit
It´s tight on me, hard on you
It´s a short cut but it´s a long way home
When you think you can make it on you own
You think you´re bulletproof
But what you really are
Is a big man in a little suit
I was part of the chain
A face with no name in a place with no soul
By a thief in the night
I was robbed of the light and left nothing, nothing to hold
I´ve turned my back on a world like that
I want to get back to loving you
Give me one more chance
Won´t you warm the hands of this cold headed fool
