Written by Elton John and Caleb Quaye Oh pity me I'm so alone and so blue My friends have all gone away Their friendliness too It was I on my own With no need to be alone And I wanted to die That's when you came along And thank you for all of your loving Thank you for all of your tears Thank you for all of your kindness Thank you for being here What a difference it makes My life has started again And if you go away It just won't be the same It's hard to say what I feel When I'm by your side You're there when I'm worried
