    My little brother passed away the day before thanksgiving.
    I went through the last text messages we sent each other. And he had sent me this song. I’m not much of an Elton John fan, but this song means so much to me now. And listening to over and over I can’t believe such a beautiful song can make me feel so sad.

    The whole point of the video I think is that the song transcends any person or any emotion. It can be happy or crushingly sad. It can represent freedom or represent imprisonment. This is more interesting than what would have been just another love song music video.

    If it wasn’t for this song, I probably wouldn’t exist. My dad pursued my mom for months without any luck. One night, he sat in her room while she put on makeup for a date with another boy. My dad was persistent lol. This song came on, and he asked her to dance. She felt a type of way about him during that dance that she didn’t feel before. The rest is history. Thanks, Elton! 😂

    I'll never forget this song was used in a commercial for a hospital show and the song was used for a micro-preemie, where they had hope the baby would make it. I had given birth to our daughter about 2 weeks prior to this, and I bawled my eyes out as my daughter was a 2 lb/913 grams micro-preemie born at 26 weeks. The song helped renew my strength, as i made daily teips to the hospital to visit her and bring her milk. She will be 22 years old this year.

    I was 16 when my grandma passed. I got a old 1970s record player from her. She used to turn it on and clean house every Sunday. She had Johnny cash, CCR, Eagles and a lot more records. One day after she passed I went to her house and opened up that old record player. I turned it on. I wandered. What was the last song she cleaned to? Before she got sick and passed away ya know? Tiny dancer. On a 45. I was 16 years old crying like a baby. But now it’s almost 4 years later and this song still gets to me. God damn I love Elton John.

As for me, I've always loved Elton John's music, beginning in 1971 or 1972 (I think) when I first heard Crockodile Rock on the radio. I was only 10 or 11 years old and got my money and headed to the record store to buy the 45 rpm vinyl record. Boy... what a beautiful era that was.

    Lyrics
    Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
    Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
    Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
    And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
    Jesus freaks out in the street
    Handing tickets out for God
    Turning back she just laughs
    The boulevard is not that bad
    Piano man he makes his stand
    In the auditorium
    Looking on she sings the songs
    The words she knows, the tune she hums
    But oh how it feels so real
    Lying here with no one near
    Only you and you can hear me
    When I say softly, slowly
    Hold me closer tiny dancer
    Count the headlights on the highway
    Lay me down in sheets of linen
    You had a busy day today
    Hold me closer tiny dancer
    Count the headlights on the highway
    Lay me down in sheets of linen
    You had a busy day today
    Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
    Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
    Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
    And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
    But oh how it feels so real
    Lying here with no one near
    Only you and you can hear me
    When I say softly, slowly
    Hold me closer tiny dancer
    Count the headlights on the highway
    Lay me down in sheets of linen
    You had a busy day today
    Hold me closer tiny dancer
    Count the headlights on the highway
    Lay me down in sheets of linen
    You had a busy day today
