"Your Song" Elton John
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
So excuse me forgetting,
but these things I do
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
now you're in the world
If I was a sculptor,
but then again no
Or a girl 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 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
now you're in the world
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
(slowing)
How wonderful life is
now you're in the world
