Goodbye, Amélie [UK Version] lyrics

ELTON JOHN:

Amélie

Goodbye, girl

Amélie

I give you your wings

Fly so free and join the angel choir, girl

Teach them to sing

Amélie

Beats me girl

Why you had bid this planet adieu

Let me be the first to say merci, girl

That means thank you

We're an ocean of rowboats

You decided to save

Lifting us to the shoreline

Like a wave

When your harp and your halo

Hit the sky

Look down

We'll be waving goodbye

CHORUS:

Ooh

ELTON JOHN:

Amélie

Our flashlight

CHORUS:

Aah

ELTON JOHN:

How we see when the

ELTON JOHN AND CHORUS:

Power blows

CHORUS:

Ooh

ELTON JOHN:

Shine on me

You'rе like a thousand Zippos

No! A zillion Zippos

ELTON JOHN AND CHORUS:

Half-blind in a blizzard

ELTON JOHN:

On a slippery slope

You arе up at the summit

ELTON JOHN AND CHORUS:

With a rope

ELTON JOHN:

When your harp and your halo

ELTON JOHN AND CHORUS:

Hit the sky

ELTON JOHN:

Look down

We'll be waving goodbye

CHORUS:

Oh, where will we go?

Oh, who will appease us?

You're nicer than Oprah

Bigger than Jesus

We shout from the hills

We shout from the mesa

You're half Santa Claus

Half Mother Teresa

MOURNER [LUCIEN]:

She cared for the elders

MOURNER [GINA]:

And nursed the children

MOURNER [SUZANNE]:

She separated my recyclable waste

MOURNER [GEORGETTE]:

She stood in the soup kitchen at 3:30 AM

MOURNER [DUFAYEL]:

And defused bombs in the afternoon

MOURNER [RAPHAEL]:

Built wells in Malawi

MOURNER [LUCIEN]:

With her bare hands

NINO:

Goodbye Amélie Poulain!

I'll never love anyone as much as I loved you

CHORUS:

Oh, where will we go?

Oh, who will appease us?

You're nicer than Oprah

ELTON JOHN:

Oh

You get a car

And you get a car!

We shout

CHORUS:

Bigger than Jesus

We shout from the hills

We shout from the mesa

You're half Santa Claus

Half Mother Teresa

ELTON JOHN:

Amélie

AMÉLIE:

Saving orphans

ELTON JOHN:

Amelye

AMÉLIE:

Stopping fires

ELTON JOHN:

Amelow

AMÉLIE:

I've got the high notes and I'm

AMÉLIE & CHORUS:

Singing with the choir

AMÉLIE:

Aah

ELTON JOHN & CHORUS:

You're perfect and clever and sugar and lightning

ELTON JOHN:

And yeah

CHORUS:

Yeah

ELTON JOHN:

Yeah

CHORUS:

Yeah

ELTON JOHN:

Yeah

CHORUS:

Yeah

ELTON JOHN:

Yeah!

Woah, woah

ELTON JOHN & CHORUS:

Woah, woah, woah, woah

Yeah!
