Elton John, "Your Song"

Your Song

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside

I'm not one of those who can easily hide

I don't have much money but, boy if I did

I'd buy a big house where, we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again no

Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show

I know it's not much but it's the best I can do

My gift is my song and

And this one's for you

And you can tell everybody, this is your song

It may be quite simple but now that it's done

I hope you don't mind

I hope you don't mind

That I put down in words

How wonderful life is, while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked, off the moss

Well a few, of the verses, well they've got me quite cross

But the sun's been quite kind

While I wrote this song

It's for people like you that oh

Keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting

But these things I do

You see, I've forgotten

If they're green or they're blue

Anyway the thing is, what I really mean

Yours are the sweetest eyes oh I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody that this is your song

It may be quite simple but

Now that it's done

I hope you don't mind

I hope you don't mind

That I put down in words

How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I hope you don't mind

I hope you don't mind

That I put down in words

How wonderful life is while you're in the world
