I can hear your heart
Pounding in my ear
Now I feel the sound
And the time is near
I feel the taste
Of all the things you do
Now the time has come
I know you're a dream come true
You make me so complete
With the things you do
And the music's sweet
You make me feel brand new
I hear the sound
Songs started coming through
Somehow I know
That you're a dream come true
chorus:
It takes my breath when it sounds that way
Seems like you chase the clouds away
And I feel so good each and every day
And life is good each and every way
Now I feel the beat of the dancing drums
And now I know we're gonna have some fun
Now the time stands still
And the blues are through
And now I know what I'm gonna do
Now I feel the beat of the dancing drums
And now I know we're gonna have some fun
Now the time stands still
And all the blues are through
Now I know what I'm gonna do
(repeat chorus)

This song was probably my number one when I heard the album the 1st time, and I probably would have given it four stars (the rest of the album mostly three stars). Now it gets five stars - it has grown on me like all the songs in the album in fact! Of course my new ratings suffer from inflation, and converted to the old levels I would have probably given the same four stars, or four and a half stars.

1* and i´m being generous... Ouch! Is that your opinion only to this song or generally to The Union?

4.5 stars. I like it, and it has a unique structure, with it's long outro taken over by the female vocalist.

Yes, I'm glad they loosened up and let the song go on and on till it petered out.
This doesn't seem like much at first. It seems predictable, a standard tune anyone could come up with. Then it gets me and I don't know why. My favorite bit is when Elton starts singing with all the sharpness and "knowingness" of 1970-72... It adds implied, extra hidden meaning to the simple thing he's singing...
"Now I feel the beat of the dancing drums
And now I know we're gonna have some fun
Now the time stands still
And all the blues are through
Now I know what I'm gonna do"
He delivers these lines in such an excited, pointed way, that I really want to know... "What're ya gonna DO, Elton?! Take me with you!!" It's something pretty damn good...
