Sorry for Whatever...

I remember it was on an August day years and years ago when Princess Diana died. I remember it distinctly because I got home at almost morning from a dance that day, and saw on TV glimpses of the first photographs of the horrible crash.

When we went to Paris, our tour guide pointed to us the Hotel where Princess Di and Dodi El Fayed stayed and the site of the crash.

Elton John's hunched figure singing Candle in the Wind during the memorial to Diana comes to mind.

Of all Elton John's song, I like Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word. It's a sad song. But it also leaves an opening, a chance for people to examine their selves and feelings. And if there's a questioning, it means there's a working out, a solution. Blues can be wiped out. Then rainbow colors will appear again.

SORRY SEEMS TO BE THE HARDEST WORD
by Elton John

What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you're not there

What do I do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What do I do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do
What have I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word
