Love Song

On Tumbleweed Connection. For many years, the song was wrongly introduced as a John-Taupin creation. Lesley Duncan, a friend who helped Elton survive lean times in the late 1960s, wrote it and joined Elton in singing it. She tapped her foot throughout the recording and it can be heard.

Lyrics:
The words I have to say May well be simple but they're true Until you give your love There's nothing more that we can do

Love is the opening door Love is what we came here for No one could offer you more Do you know what I mean Have your eyes really seen

You say it's very hard To leave behind the life we knew But there's no other way And now it's really up to you

Love is the key we must turn Truth is the flame we must burn Freedom the lesson we must learn Do you know what I mean Have your eyes really seen

Love is the opening door Love is what we came here for No one could offer you more Do you know what I mean Have your eyes really seen...
