The Greatest Discovery
Music by Elton John, Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Peering out of tiny eyes, the grubby hands that grip the rail
Wiped the window clean of frost, as the morning air laid on the ledge
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 this 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 G7
This is your brand new brother 2x
