Closer to 50 (aka: shit! closer to 50!)

When it gets closer to my birthday, I always play Elton John, Paul McCartney, Fleetwood Mac, and Billy Joel.

"And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no no no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man
Burnin' out this fuse
Up here alone....."

"But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly...."

"Maybe I'm a man and maybe I'm a lonely man
Who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand..."

"Like a heartbeat... drives you mad...
In the stillness of remembering what you had...
And what you lost...
And what you had...
And what you lost..."

"I would not leave you in times of trouble

We never could have come this far

I took the good times, I'll take the bad times

I'll take you just the way you are..."
