Elton John said that when he was brought the song he said it was to long. So he cut a verse out . But he didn't realize he cut the verse that exsplanes what the song is about . Does anyone know the verse he cut ?

The lyrics were written by Bernie Taupin, Elton's writing partner. When Elton wrote the music for it, he chopped off the last verse because he thought the song was already too long. This completely changed the meaning of the song, as the deleted verse explained that "Daniel" was a Vietnam Vet who returned home after the war, lost his eyesight, and decided to leave America and go to Spain. With the last verse chopped off, it became a fairly vague story of 2 brothers who part ways.

I don't know exactly what the lyrics were, but this is what the verse was about:
"Daniel" was a Vietnam Vet who returned home after the war, lost his eyesight, and decided to leave America and go to Spain. With the last verse chopped off, it became a fairly vague story of 2 brothers who part ways.

No but I think the song is about a war vet Bernie Taupin knew who lost his eyesight.

I would love to know if that is true. I'm pretty sure the song was written about his brother. Other than that, I can't help you out.
