You watch the sky change as you lay on the ground, stars started appearing across the dark night sky like freckles on a persons face.
As the moon began to shine a feeling of loneliness fills your heart.

A memory of a song fills your head as you look at the lonely sky......

"She packed my bags last night pre-flight"

You take a deep breath as you continue to sing the words

"Zero hour, nine AM"

Tears rolled off as your soft voice carried out in the night.

"And im gonna high, as a kite by then"

This song reminded you of your dad.

I miss the earth so much, i miss my wife"

You missed him.

"Its lonely out in space"

You looked at the star filled sky, remembering all of the constellations that he showed you.

"On such a timeless flight"

Why did he have to leave you, it wasn't fair.

"And i think its gonna be a long long time, till touch down brings me round again to find"

Why did he have to die.

"I'm not the man they think I am at home, Oh no no no I'm the rocket man"

"Rocket man"

"Burning out his fuse up here alone"

Your vision begins to blur due to your tears.

"Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids, In fact it's cold as hell"

You remember the call you got from the hospital saying that he'd been in a wreck.

"And there's no one there to raise them, if you did"

They said he wasn't going to make it.

"And all this science, I don't understand"

You felt your world crumble as you and your mom drove to the hospital.

"Its just my job five days a week"

You didn't want to believe this was happening. You wanted it all to just be a bad dream.

"Rocket man"

You took a deep breath and screamed the words

"ROCKET MAN"

He loved this song.

"And i think it's gonna be a long long time, Till touch down brings round again to find"

It was getting harder to remember his voice ober the years but you will always remember his last words to you.

"I'm not the man they think i am at home, Oh no no no, I'm the rocket man"

"Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone"

You remember how he told you to live
and be happy even though he wasn't there.

"And i think it's gonna be a long long time, Till touch down brings round again to find"

He told you to fight for what you belived in.

"I'm not the man they think I am at home, Oh no no no"

He wanted you to remember him.

"Rocket man, burning up his fuse up here alone"

And he wanted to always remember how much he loved you.

"And i think its gonna be a long long time"

You held tightly to your dads old coat.
You could still smell that unmistakable scent of your dads cigarettes.

"And i think it's gonna be a long long time"

You continue to cry, but you smile. That feeling of loneliness still remains but you know that you can't give up even though he's gone.

"And i think it's gonna be a long long time"

You had to keep going, keep fighting, and you had to keep living.

"And i think it's gonna be a long long time"

Clouds had begun to move in and the soft beginnings of rain fell on your body.

"And i think it's gonna be a long long time"

As you sang the last few words of the song,  you felt a lightness in your heart.
You had finally come to terms with the loss of you dad and could move on.
