Letra de
Tiny Dancer

A música Tiny Dancer foi inspirada pela primeira viagem de Bernie Taupin a América em 1970, especialmente pelas mulheres que ele viu na Califórnia. Elton John compôs a melodia. A música captura o espírito da Califórnia naquela época e a letra reflete as experiências de Taupin observando a vida cultural de Los Angeles.

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her, dancing in the sand
Now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks, out in the street, handing tickets out for God
Turning back, she just laughs, the boulevard is not that bad
Piano man, he makes his stand, in the auditorium
Looking on, she sings the songs, the words she knows, the tune she hums

But oh how it feels so real
Lying here, with no one near
Where only you, and you can hear me
When I say, "Softly "
"Slowly "

"Hold me closer Tiny Dancer"
