The Weight Of The World Lyrics - Peachtree Road - Elton John

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 ugly dragon 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
