Something About the Way You Look Tonight

Here you go, Elton: I looked something like this
I spent a bunch of time on my bike today, and songs often come to me as I ride. This song came to me in just that way:

There was a time
I was everything and nothing all in one
When you found me
I was feeling like a cloud across the sun

I need to tell you
How you light up every second of the day
But in the moonlight
You just shine like a beacon on the bay

And I can't explain
But it's something about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
It's that feeling I get about you, deep inside
And I can't describe
But it's something about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
The way you look tonight

With a smile
You pull the deepest secrets from my heart
In all honesty
I'm speechless and I don't know where to start

It seems like whenever I listen to music, I hear sad songs. They serve their purpose too, but it seems decidedly optimistic and loving of my inner jukebox to select this number as I rode in my backless yoga shirt across campus this graduation weekend...
