Sacrifice is the evergreen song by the popular singer, Elton John from his 1989 album.
Elton John, an English musician, recorded the song “Sacrifice” for his 22nd studio album, Sleeping with the Past. The song was written by John and Bernie Taupin (1989). It was first made available in October 1989 as the album’s second single. It was popular in 1990, especially in France and the UK, where it became John’s first solo number-one song.
The song challenges the idea that a happy marriage necessitates sacrifice by describing how difficult it is to remain dedicated and true. John has performed this song in a number of venues throughout the course of the 32 years since its release, thanks to the song’s popularity.
Initially released as a single in 1989, “Sacrifice” stalled at positions 55 in the UK and 18 in the US in March 1990. The song was first played on BBC Radio 1 in the middle of 1990 by English DJ Steve Wright, who was quickly joined by numerous other radio DJs. The song was later re-released as a double A-side single with “Healing Hands,” and in June 1990 it peaked at number one in the UK.
John’s first solo number-one hit in the UK Singles Chart was thus achieved; it remained at the top for five weeks. With this re-release, Elton John also achieved his first French number one and spent 26 weeks on the chart.

Sacrifice lyrics by Elton John
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
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passin’ through
And it’s no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It’s two hearts livin’
In two separate worlds
But, it’s no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It’s no sacrifice, at all
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passin’ through
And it’s no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It’s two hearts livin’
In two separate worlds
But, it’s no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It’s no sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all
