Elton John a eu 61 ans ce 25 mars, et c'est pour cette occasion que je vous propose une chanson totalement inédite, qui n'a été jouée qu'une seule fois en live par l'artiste, c'est lors de cette émission matinale américaine, "The Today Show", le 25 avril 2006, au Rockefeller Plaza de New York, en plein air.
"Right Before My Eyes"
, écrit par Elton John et son parolier habituel Bernie Taupin, est tiré de la comédie musicale "Lestat" qui fut jouée à Broadway durant le printemps 2006. Le livret et l'adaptation est tirée de l'oeuvre "Interview avec un vampire"."Right Before My Eyes"
Je vous publie également les paroles de la chanson :
How luminous he looks to me
So radiant and glorious
One savage kiss is all he needs
To change his life and make this night victorious
What princes' of the moon we'd be
Two blazing beacons in the dark
This drives me to take him now
No force on earth will ever tear him from my heart
Why do I go back and forth ?
What is this doubt that clouds my thoughts ?
Don't waste the chance and let the night pass by
He's mine to take
He's right before my eyes
And so my conscience speaks to me
Of selfishness and consequence
The danger that from debt I'd make
A stolen soul no longer blessed with innocence
And such a kingdom could be ours
A wondrous world beyond compare
Would his bright fire might wish it so ?
Surely he'd agree this gift is one that should be shared
Why do I go back and forth ?
What is this doubt that clouds my thoughts ?
Don't waste the chance and let the night pass by
He's mine to take
He's right before my eyes
Everything I really need
Is standing here in front of me
The one thing that my heart should not deny
Is out of reach
Right before my eyes
Is out of reach
Right before my eyes
