Blue Eyes


"Blue Eyes" by Elton John is performed in the original key of A major. Released in 1982 as part of his album "Jump Up!," the song is a soulful ballad written by Elton John and Gary Osborne. An interesting fact is that "Blue Eyes" was one of Elton John's few singles during the 1980s that didn't feature his long-time collaborator Bernie Taupin as a lyricist. The melody features lush piano accompaniment, heartfelt vocals by Elton John, and a memorable chorus, creating a romantic and melancholic atmosphere that resonates with listeners.
