Your Song Lyrics
[Verse 1: 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
[Verse 2: Elton John]
If I was a sculptor, heh
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 this one's for you
[Chorus: Elton John]
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 the words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
[Verse 3: Elton John]
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
[Verse 4: Elton John]
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
[Chorus: Elton John]
And you can tell everybody
This is the 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 the words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
[Outro: Elton John]
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in the words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
