Goodbye, Amélie

[Elton john]
Amélie
Goodbye, girl
Amélie
I give you your wings
Fly so free
And join the angel choir, girl
And teach them to sing

Amélie
Beats me, girl
Why you had to bid this planet adieu

Let me be the first to say
Merci, girl
That means: Thank you!

We're an ocean of rowboats
You decided to save
Lifting us to the shoreline
Like a wave

When your harp and your halo hit the sky
Look down, we'll be waving goodbye!

Amélie
Our flashlight
How we see when the power blows
Shine on me like a thousand zippos
No! A zillion zippos!

Half-blind a blizzard
On a slippery slope
You are up at the summit
With a rope

When your harp and your halo hit the sky
Look down, we'll be waving goodbye!

[Angels]
Oh, where will we go?
Oh, who will appease us?
You're nicer than oprah, bigger than Jesus!

[Elton john](angels)
Oprah! (and Jesus)
And you get a car!
And you get a car! (we shout from the hills)
Yeah!
We shout!

[Angels]
We shout from the hills
We shout from a mesa
You’re half santa claus
Half mother teresa

[Amélie](elton john)
(Amélie) saving orphans!
(Amélie) stopping fires!
(Amélie) I've got the high notes
And I'm singing with the choir!
Yeah!

[Elton john]
You're perfect!
Yeah!

[Angels]
Yeah!

[Elton john]
Yeah!

[Angels]
Yeah!

[Elton john]
Yeah!

[Angels]
Yeah!

[Elton john]
Yeah!!
