You Can Make History (Young Again)

About You Can Make History (Young Again)

"You Can Make History (Young Again)" is a song by Elton John, initially recorded in 1996 and released on the American version of the compilation Love Songs. As the song was recorded after the release of the original European version of the compilation (released in late 1995), it was not included on that version. The song was released as a cassette single, charting at number four on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and number 70 on the main Hot 100 chart. It also reached number 19 in Canada. The single included two tracks: a version of the song with its characteristic sitar (which can be heard at the beginning and end of the song), and one without (effectively an acoustic mix). Approximately a year after its release, the song was first released internationally when it was included as the B-side of the worldwide number-one "Something About the Way You Look Tonight"/"Candle in the Wind 1997" single, both of which were dedicated to celebrities which had died that year: Gianni Versace and Diana, Princess of Wales respectively. more »

I can feel the time closing in
                   I can feel the years crawling through my skin
                   And if I doubt myself I can count on the rain
                     To cover the tears of this aging game

                     But I can count on you to play your part
                     I don't miss a beat of your animal heart
                   And when you push from behind I know I can
                   Cover a mountain with the palm of my hand

                  And oh babe, you can make history young again
                      You could rewrite, you could decide
                  The things that should or shouldn't have been
                   You could look at me in the scheme of things
                   Oh babe, you could make history young again

                      I can watch the weeks sweeping by
                   I can recollect the hearts hanging out to dry
                  When the world shuts down I can touch my fears
                     I can hear lost youth ringing in my ears

                      But I lost nothing when I gained you
                   You just blew me away with yesterdays news
                    When you run your fingers down my spine
                  It's like throwing a switch on the hands of time

                         Ancient minds, ancient lives
                         Got a way of coming around
                        If I knew then what I know now
                       I'd make it back to you somehow
