Llegamos
al tercer miércoles de Noviembre y nos toca compartir el segmento musical
dedicado al año 1989, hace 25 años, cuando este servidor tenía 26 años de edad.
Y para el día de hoy, he querido elegir dos canciones de dos grandes cantantes,
excelentes pianistas y prolíficos compositores: Elton John y Billy Joel.


I never
dreamed I could cry so hard
That ain't
like a man
I could fly
like a bird some days
Had a place
where I could land
I could have
sworn we were all locked in
Ain't that
what you said
I never knew
it could hurt so bad
When the
power of love is dead
But giving
into the nighttime
Ain't no
cure for the pain
You gotta
wade into the water
You gotta
learn to live again
And reach
out for her healing hands
Reach out
for her healing hands
There's a
light, where the darkness ends
Touch me now
and let me see again
Rock me now
in your gentle healing hands
I never knew
love like poison
That burned
like a fire
All I ever
wanted was a reason
To drown in
your eyes
I never knew
sleep so restless
Empty arms
so cold
That's not
the way it's supposed to be
It ain't the
spell that I was sold
