在艾尔顿·约翰的生涯中,有好几首歌曲都曾经陆续出现过不同的录音版本,甚至先后打进排行的,其中就包括了《Candle in the Wind》。这是他献给玛丽莲梦露(Marilyn Monroe)的歌曲,有很多人都认为,这是艾尔顿·约翰毕生的作品中最动人的杰作。这首歌首次发表,是在「Goodbye Yellow Brick Road」专辑里面。
成名多年以来,艾尔顿·约翰得以和许多名流亲近,而由于他对于各种慈善活动、特别是帮助爱滋病患的各项义演向来非常热心,因此他和黛安娜王妃结为好友。1997年,婚姻不美满的黛安娜私下与情人出游,不幸发生车祸而丧生,造成了举世的震惊与哀悼。平民出身的黛安娜王妃公众形象极佳,而由于她平日与演艺界来往密切,艾尔顿·约翰特别把自己当年为玛丽莲梦露所写的《Candle in the Wind》歌词稍加修改,在黛安娜的丧礼上为她演唱,透过了电视的转播,全世界都听到了这首歌曲。唱片公司随后也接着推出了他重新进入录音室灌录的这最新版本,几乎可以说是造成了抢购。(TOM音乐)

can you feel the love tonight》
music by elton john
lyrics by tim rice
performed by elton johnthere's a calm surrender
to the rush of day
when the heat of the rolling world
can be turned away
and enchanted moment
and it sees me through
it's enough for this restless warrior
just to be with you
chorus
and can you feel the love tonight?
it is where we are
it's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
that we got this far
and can you feel the love tonight
how it's laid to rest?
it's enough to make kings and vagabonds
believe the very best
there's a time for everyone
if they only learn
that the twisting kaleidoscope
moves us all in turn
there's a rhyme and reason
to the wild outdoors
when the heart of this star-crossed voyager
beats in time with yours
chorus
it's enough to make kings and vagabonds
believe the very best
