The Panic In Me

Elton John

Lyrics by Tim Rice

Often these days

And always these nights

I find I'm afraid

Of the turbulent heights

No matter how crazily

No matter how far

The moments of tenderness

Are those where you are

For when you are laughing

Like silver, like rain

You cool me, you soothe me

And love me again

For a few perfect hours

The world lets me be

You know how to calm down

Oh oh

The panic in me

The panic in me

The panic in me

The panic in me

Once in a while

I slip back to my past

Where I long to remain

But the dream does not last

In the trials of the present

No matter how low

You bring me such peace

And you won't let me go

For when you are laughing

Like silver, like rain

You cool me, you soothe me

And love me again

For a few perfect hours

The world lets me be

You know how to break down

Oh oh

The panic in me

The panic in me

The panic in me

The panic in me

In the trials of the present

No matter how low

You bring me such peace

And you won't let me go

Oh don't let me go

For when you are laughing

Lile silver, like rain

You cool me, you soothe me

And you love me again

For a few perfect hours

The world lets me be

You know how to break down

Oh oh, oh oh

The panic in me

The panic in me

The panic in me

The panic in me

The panic in me
