Elton John - Healing Hands Lyrics






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

  1. B.... Y....

    One of the greatest singers of all time! All my respect and admirations!

  2. s.... ....

    The way he deals with rythm in this song, well especcially in this song, always amazes me!

  3. C.... S....

    Elton really needed those Healing Hands at the time this was released.

  4. A.... S....

    🙌🙌🙌🙌

  5. H.... O....

    Blue Avenue, from the same album, is also a wonderful song

  6. (.... ....

    easily one of elton's best songs. has to be in his top 10 best.

  7. R.... B....

    Elton Fantastic SONG

  8. E.... A....

    Don’t understand why this song was not used in the movie

  9. D.... W....

    How is 1990 30 years ago?! Stop going so fast time PLEASE!

  10. j.... ....

    drinking game: down a shot every time reggie points at ya

  11. J.... S....

    Underrated song.
    Bizarre video.

  12. S.... L....

    Amazing song better then some of his big hits

  13. G.... d....

    This is real music.

  14. V.... ....

    Should have been a bigger hit but one of those songs that was probably too good for the general public that is in majority tone deaf.

  15. o.... ....

    From his early years until the release of the "made in england" album in 1995, almost every song is masterpiece.

  16. B.... K....

    EJ🎹🎹🎹🎹 PROUD

  17. T.... .....

    Mi cantante favorito😄❤️

  18. S.... ....

    Reach out for the ceiling fan!

  19. U.... M....

    3:49 a tribute to his fellow Piano Man friend ?

  20. U.... M....

    ... all Elton John songs feature male backing vocals, I wonder if those female gospel trio are purely choreographic, though at 3:28 they do sound like women

  21. J.... S....

    Sleeping with the past is the favoirte Elton John album of mine<3<3<3

  22. S.... G....

    Watching this makes me think of his friendship with Freddie Mercury. He called Freddie Malina and Freddie called Elton Sharon. What wonderful friends they were and truly amazing singer/ songwriters

    S.... G....

    whatever the friendship and the gossips they are master composers ... not much like these days, "music" it's all about blah blah blah

  23. S.... G....

    Such a beautiful song never gets played on the radio

  24. J.... 8....

    I just discovered this song. Love it.

  25. G.... P....

    Herb Ritts was a beautiful photographer. He did his album cover for Sleeping with the Past. RIP Herb Ritts.

  26. D.... M....

  42. A.... B....

    Puts me back in 1989!

  43. s.... m....

    Brilliant!

  44. S.... K....

    My favorite part is how he sings 'There's a light'. I swear he has the best inflection and emotional affect to his singing. Superb judgment.

  45. K.... M....

    Hugely underrated song from Reg. Widely overlooked in favour of his more commercial ones. My favourite of his. The little smile at 3min 55sec is as though he's saying to himself " boy I've done well on this one"

  46. c.... ....

    October 2019 Healing, mercy, closure, ..let love begin again

  47. S.... K....

    Omg I went to Heaven

    One of Elton John's best ever songs. This song has got me through some hard situations.

  54. B.... J....

    My childhood memories right here. This was in my opinion Elton best album.

  55. j.... ....

    Elton at his finest <3 I adore this song. I think of my late Mother because she had a way of healing my pain, and I am going through hell right now and wish she was here. Thank you Elton for this wonderful song.

    My all time favourite Elton John song.

  61. S.... H....

    Most unrated song of all time Sir Elton is a genius

  62. J.... ....

    Russell Mulcahy did great videoclips for Elton John in the 80's. That's another great one.
    The song is underrated and nostalgic for me..

  63. P.... N....

    This is what we need right now.

  64. p.... o....

    Super chanson bravo elton

    Fantastic song. I love it the words are so touching I remember getting this song when it came out

  93. E.... A....

    Lejos,, la mejor epoca para la musica,, los 80s,, ahora es pura mierda,, saludos desde paraguay

  94. E.... ....

    Some day, it will be said that our time has been blessed with the music of Elton John and the words of Bernie Taupin

  95. S.... T....

    Will be watching his latest film later hopefully. Looking forward to see the Rocket Man.

  96. M.... S....

    A masterpiece!

  97. R.... B....

    Easily one of Elton's most underrated songs. I remember when it first got released and was surprised it wasn't a hit and was glad when it got re-released as a doube A-side with Sacrifice. I like Sacrifice but this song I always liked that little bit more.

  98. I.... A....

    This song was playing on the plane when I was going to RTC Great Lakes. Nearly 30 years ago. 😱
