Hi, the one you mentioned is "candle in the light"; I like that one 
too. However, the one I like most from Elton John is "sacrifice", from
"sleeping.with.the.past"; the videoclip of this song is beeeaaautiful.

Other favorite Elton John songs: "blue eyes", "still standing", "gotta
love someone", and more.

SONG: Sacrifice - Elton John/Bernie Taupin

It's a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation's strong

Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes calling
And negativity lands

Cold cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passing through

And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all

Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act

We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns
