The Greatest Discovery
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Taupin
Peering out of tiny eyes
The grubby hands that gripped
the rail
Wiped the window clean of frost
As the morning air laid on the
lanch
A whistle awakened someone there
Next door to the nursery just down
the hall
A strange new sound you never heard before
A strange new sound
that makes boys explore
Tread neat so small those little feet
Amid the
morning his small heart beats
So much excitement yesterday
That must be
rewarded, must be displayed
Large hands lift him through
the air
Excited eyes contain him there
The eyes of those he loves and
knows
But what's the extra bed just here
His puzzled head tipped to one
side
Amazement swims in those bright green eyes
Glancing down upon this
thing
That makes strange sounds, strange sounds that sing
In those silent happy seconds
That
surround the sound of this event
A parent smile is made in moments
They
have made for you a friend
And all you ever learned from them
Until you
grew much older
Did not compare with when they said
This is your brand
new brother
This is your brand new brother
This is your brand new brother
