Chart
debut for Elton's country duet
August
1, 2005
Where We Both
Say Goodbye, the duet between Elton and Australian country singer Catherine Britt has entered the Billboard
Country Singles Chart at Number 49. This is the first time Elton has appeared on the Billboard Country Chart as an artist.*
Elton first encountered teenager Catherine Britt when he was touring Australia in 2002. He heard one of her recordings,
and invited her to meet him backstage in Sydney. Through Elton's contacts Catherine later secured a US record deal with RCA.
Too Far Gone is the album from which this single is taken.
*[In
2003 Tim McGraw's version of Tiny Dancer gave Elton a chart placing on the country chart as a songwriter.]
COMPLETE DISCOGRAPHY
 THE MUSIC IS WHAT
MATTERS MOST
Your Song
Music
by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Elton John
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 boy if I did
I'd
buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor,
but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My
gift is my song and this one's for you
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 sat on the
roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind
while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me
forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway
the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
