"Your Song"
Written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin




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 travelin' show,
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 forgettin'
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.
