When The First Tear Shows

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
