Elton John - I'll Never Have That Chance текст песни

I have spent so many years in fancy lace and beaded gowns
I have set my hair a hundred ways
My face, I've painted up and powdered down

This body bears a telling tale; they pinch my cheek and wish me well
For all their patronizing smiles
This frame remains a prison cell

They look at me and what they see is one more painted china doll
A sweet and coddled daughter with
A painted fan, a sweet treat and a parasol

Inside of me there lives someone who could have been somebody's wife
Who could have seen their children grow, who could have had a normal life
Who could have fiercely loved a man and felt his kisses deep and moist
Instead I give this kiss of death and in this I have no choice

Imagine walking down the aisle
I'll never have that chance
A wedding dress of virgin white
The very best from France
A cottage in the country
The pleasures of romance
Sunlight playing on my skin
I'll never have that chance
Oh no I'll never have that chance

They glide around society swans with slim long necks and perfect breasts
While I remain the frozen child
A baby bird without the wings to leave her nest

This body bares a telling tale; they pinch my cheek and wish me well
For all their patronizing smiles
This frame remains a prison cell

The mirror with its cruel laugh reflects this ageless face of mine
In taunting ways as if to say
Childhood is not something you can leave behind

Inside of me there lives someone who never felt a mother's love
Who could have heard the bells on Sunday peeling in the church of God
Who would have loved a rainy day and never had to fear the fire
Instead I hunger for the vein that holds the life force I desire

The pleasures of fine wines and dining
I'll never have that chance
The taste of chocolate and champagne
The very best from France
The arching of a rainbow
And the way the colors dance
The miracle of giving birth
I'll never have that chance
