The Perfect Love

Elton John

Lyrics by Tim Rice

Oh, the perfect love

Happiness comes when most unexpected

When nothing and no one seems true

So many promises broken

But I feel certain of you

Certain as night and day

You keep my ambitions alive

Though you don't have to stay

If you go I can never survive

The perfect love

Will probably never exist

But you are as close as it gets and I won't resist

The perfect love

Has never proven to be

But you are as close as it gets when you're close to me

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, the perfect love

Out on our own in a furious world

We chase any dream, any star

Nothing can harm us, we are immortal

Innocent fools that we are

Sometimes our confidence dies

But I won't mind at all

I see my dreams coming true in your eyes

The perfect love

Will probably never exist

But you are as close as it gets and I won't resist

The perfect love

Has never proven to be

But you are as close as it gets when you're close to me

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

The perfect love

The perfect love

Will probably never exist

But you are as close as it gets and I won't resist

The perfect love

Has never proven to be

But you are as close as it gets when you're close to me

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

The perfect love

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

The perfect love
