Daniel is travelin' tonight on a plane I can see the red taillights headin' for Spain Oh, and I can see Daniel wavin' goodbye God, it looks like Daniel Must be the clouds in my eyes They say Spain is pretty, though I've never been And Daniel says it's the best place he's ever seen Oh, and he should know, he's been there enough Lord, I miss Daniel Oh, I miss him so much Oh, Daniel, my brother, you are older than me Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal? Your eyes have died, but you see more than I Daniel, you're a star in the face of the sky Oh, Daniel, my brother, you are older than me Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal? Your eyes have died, but you see more than I Daniel, you're a star in the face of the sky Daniel is travelin' tonight on a plane I can see the red taillights headin' for Spain Oh, and I can see Daniel wavin' goodbye God, it looks like Daniel Must be the clouds in my eyes Oh, God, it looks like Daniel Must be the clouds in my eyes

A gravação original de “Daniel” foi lançada em 1973 como faixa de abertura do álbum *Don’t Shoot Me I’m Only the Piano Player* de Elton John.
O single contou com uma versão regravada de “Skyline Pigeon”, que havia sido lançada em 1969 no álbum *Empty Sky* e acabou se tornando um sucesso por conta própria.
Em 1973, “Daniel” atingiu o número 4 no Reino Unido, o número 2 nos EUA nas paradas pop (só ultrapassado por “My Love” de Paul McCartney) e permaneceu no topo da parada Adult Contemporary por duas semanas na primavera daquele ano.
O hit também se tornou o segundo número 1 de Elton John no Canadá, mantendo a posição por duas semanas no *RPM 100* nacional.
A canção foi premiada com o Ivor Novello de 1973 à categoria Best Song Musically and Lyrically, junto ao compositor Bernie Taupin.
“Daniel” apareceu na trilha sonora do filme *Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore*, lançado em 1974.
