Your Song
Arena Tina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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
In Tina Arena's hit song "Your Song," the singer acknowledges the feeling of being in love and wanting to express it in a grand gesture. Though the singer may not have much materially, they would buy a big house where they could both live. The singer then laments not having artistic talents like sculpting or making potions, but notes that their gift is their song, which they offer to their beloved. The song may be simple and not elaborately expressed but it comes from their heart, and they hope their beloved does not mind that they are offering their love in this way.
The singer continues by saying that the song is for their partner, and they can tell everyone that it is their song. The sun has been kind while the singer wrote this song, and it was for people like the singer's partner who make the world a better place. The singer then apologizes for forgetting details about their lover's eyes but tells their partner that their eyes are the sweetest they have ever seen.

It's a little bit funny
I have an amusing feeling
This feeling inside
The feeling inside me
I'm not one of those
I am not like those people
Who can easily hide
Who can easily conceal their emotions
I don't have much money
I don't have a lot of money
But boy if I did
But if I did have money
I'd buy a big house
I would purchase a big house
Where we both could live
Where we both could reside
If I was a sculptor
If I had the talent to sculpt
But then again, no
But actually, I don't have that talent
Or a man who makes potions
Or someone who creates potions
In a traveling show
For a traveling performance
I know it's not much
I am aware it is not a grand gesture
But it's the best I can do
But it is the best I am capable of
My gift is my song
My talent is singing
And this one's for you
And this song is dedicated to you
And you can tell everybody
You can tell everyone
This is your song
That this is your song
It may be quite simple
It may be straightforward
But now that it's done
But now that it's completed
I hope you don't mind
I hope you are not bothered by this
That I put down in words
That I wrote down in words
How wonderful life
How magnificent life
Is while
Can be while
You're in the world
You are existing
I sat on the roof
I sat on the rooftop
And kicked off the moss
And removed the moss
Well a few
A couple
Of the verses well
Of the lyrics
They've got me quite cross
They made me somewhat angry
But the sun's
But the sun has
Been quite kind
Been somewhat generous
While I wrote this song
During the time I wrote this song
It's for people like you
It's for people similar to you
That keep it turned on
That keep the music playing
So excuse me forgetting
Please forgive me for forgetting
But these things I do
But these are the things I find myself doing
You see I've forgotten
I have forgotten
If they're green
If your eyes are green
Or they're blue
Or if your eyes are blue
Anyway the thing
Anyway, what I mean
Is what I really mean
Is what I am truly trying to say
Yours are
Your eyes are
The sweetest eyes
The most beautiful eyes
I've ever seen
I have ever witnessed

Cover Queen Tina! She is one of the very few artists that can cover songs, and equal, or even better the originals. Shes even taken songs Ive hated for years and turned them into favourites. What she has done with Your Song, Show Me Heaven , The Winner Takes It All and I Hope I Never, just to name a few, is remarkable. Could listen to this angel all day long... and I do.
