Elton John--Weight of the world

　　I'm weary and I'm staying up late

　　And the rain hits my roof so hard

　　You know I'm no longer thirty

　　These days I'm happy to play

　　One or two hands of cards

　　I hate flies in the kitchen buzzing

　　Disturbing the peace I've found

　　Fortune and fame is so fleeting

　　These days I'm happy to say

　　I'm amazed that I'm still around

　　And the weight of the world is off my back

　　When we fell, we got up

　　And crawled out the cracks

　　Excuse me if I take some comfort in that

　　Happy today, happy to play

　　With the weight of the world off of my back

　　Humidity hangs like a curtain

　　Oh, it fogs up my glasses sometimes

　　You know I've still got my eyesight

　　These days I'm happy to see

　　A sunset instead of a line

　　And the weight of the world is off my back

　　When we fell, we got up

　　And crawled out the cracks

　　Excuse me if I take some comfort in that

　　Happy today, happy to play

　　With the weight of the world off of my back

　　There's a long list of names

　　That I don't recall

　　Even though my memory's good

　　The rain washed away

　　The lemons and weeds

　　When the weight of the world weighed more than it should

　　I hate flies in the kitchen buzzing

　　Disturbing the peace I've found

　　Fortune and fame is so fleeting

　　These days I'm happy to say

　　I'm amazed that I'm still around

　　And the weight of the world is off my back

　　When we fell, we got up

　　And crawled out the cracks

　　Excuse me if I take some comfort in that

　　Happy today, happy to play

　　With the weight of the world off of my back

　　Happy today, happy to play

　　With the weight of the world off of my back

　　With the weight of the world off of my back
