ELTON JOHN:
Amélie
Goodbye, girl
Amélie
I give you your wings
Fly so free and join the angel choir, girl
Teach them to sing
Amélie
Beats me girl
Why you had 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
CHORUS:
Ooh
ELTON JOHN:
Amélie
Our flashlight
CHORUS:
Aah
ELTON JOHN:
How we see when the
ELTON JOHN AND CHORUS:
Power blows
CHORUS:
Ooh
ELTON JOHN:
Shine on me
You'rе like a thousand Zippos
No! A zillion Zippos
ELTON JOHN AND CHORUS:
Half-blind in a blizzard
ELTON JOHN:
On a slippery slope
You arе up at the summit
ELTON JOHN AND CHORUS:
With a rope
ELTON JOHN:
When your harp and your halo
ELTON JOHN AND CHORUS:
Hit the sky
ELTON JOHN:
Look down
We'll be waving goodbye
CHORUS:
Oh, where will we go?
Oh, who will appease us?
You're nicer than Oprah
Bigger than Jesus
We shout from the hills
We shout from the mesa
You're half Santa Claus
Half Mother Teresa
MOURNER [LUCIEN]:
She cared for the elders
MOURNER [GINA]:
And nursed the children
MOURNER [SUZANNE]:
She separated my recyclable waste
MOURNER [GEORGETTE]:
She stood in the soup kitchen at 3:30 AM
MOURNER [DUFAYEL]:
And defused bombs in the afternoon
MOURNER [RAPHAEL]:
Built wells in Malawi
MOURNER [LUCIEN]:
With her bare hands
NINO:
Goodbye Amélie Poulain!
I'll never love anyone as much as I loved you
CHORUS:
Oh, where will we go?
Oh, who will appease us?
You're nicer than Oprah
ELTON JOHN:
Oh
You get a car
And you get a car!
We shout
CHORUS:
Bigger than Jesus
We shout from the hills
We shout from the mesa
You're half Santa Claus
Half Mother Teresa
