I watched an interview where Elton stated he was not proud of this album, not one his favorites. His style changed dramatically after this album. Just to note, I personally love this album.
Awesome song, one of my fave Elton ones. Also, great to hear from Bernie Taupin and hear some insight into his great lyrics :) going to see Elton in Manchester later this month!!! WOOOOOHOOOOO!
You found someone to guardian,- to guardian from a distance (one step behind them). You saw their enthusiasm for life, yet watched as they fell into despair. And you say to yourself." you (the other person) is a long way from the happiness, that I know of them;" I can see this.But how do they learn to recover from the despair into which life may cast us, if we are supply to much intervention Can I help you from a distance, yet, we can not rely to much upon the DIVINITY (Divine Intervention).
I guess you're okay You seem to feel better these days I've known you for so long I've seen your brightness go from blue to grey You know that's true You can shake your head but I can prove I've seen things through your eyes You think you win but in the end you lose And there's no second guess We take no second bets Chances are we're a long way from happiness Don't cover up the road to love With words that can't express The truth implies you're high and dry And you're a long way from happiness I'm one step behind Looking out for you all the time I'll put my faith in you And steer you clear of love that leaves you blind And there's no second guess We take no second bets Chances are we're a long way from happiness Don't cover up the road to love With words that can't express The truth implies you're high and dry And you're a long way from happiness

beautiful song and great album
He should have played this and "Live Like Horses" on his solo-piano shows, it is so awesome live ;- )
I saw Elton John at Wembley in London around the time of The Big picture. I love the album and this song.
I love this song! I love him! ELTON ROCKS!
This album taps into my depression alot
Oh, never saw this video before, thank you very much!!! The most beautiful song from the "Big picture" album
Just a wonderful song...beautiful words!
This song got me through my divorce in 1997.

Yes especially the title track!!!
@alberthurt1 agreed! Great album that never gets notoriety or a mention when speaking of EJ's music..
Sempre achei esse um dos melhores trabalhos de Elton John.
@John19182004 Ok tyvm for explainning that.
I guess you're okay
You seem to feel better these days
I've known you for so long
I've seen your brightness go from blue to grey
You know that's true
You can shake your head but I can prove
I've seen things through your eyes
You think you win but in the end you lose
And there's no second guess
We take no second bets
Chances are we're a long way from happiness
Don't cover up the road to love
With words that can't express
The truth implies you're high and dry
And you're a long way from happiness
I'm one step behind
Looking out for you all the time
I'll put my faith in you
And steer you clear of love that leaves you blind
And there's no second guess
We take no second bets
Chances are we're a long way from happiness
Don't cover up the road to love
With words that can't express
The truth implies you're high and dry
And you're a long way from happiness
@Demonboy121 it means that you think you've got what makes you happy in life, but you're wrong: you're a long way from happiness.
Wonderful song, actually better live than on the album :)
I'm not sure what this song is about if anyone would care to explain that would be great please?
