Elton John
"Your Song" lyrics

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, heh
But then again, no
Or a man
Who makes potions in a
Travelling show, oh
I know it's not much
But it's the best I can do
My gift is my song 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
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
I've ever seen

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 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
