Your Song
Ellie Goulding (Blackmill Dubstep Remix) 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
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 maybe 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.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
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.
In Ellie Goulding's cover of Your Song, the lyrics are a simple yet heartfelt expression of love from one person to another. The singer admits to feeling a little bit funny inside, but reveals that they are unable to hide their feelings. They may not have much money, but they dream of buying a big house and sharing it with the object of their affection. The singer then admits to forgetting certain things, but expresses that it doesn't matter because what they really mean is that their lover has the sweetest eyes they've ever seen.
As the song progresses, the singer admits that they may not have great artistic talents like being a sculptor or a girl who makes potions, but that their gift is their song and this one is for their lover. The chorus repeats, with the singer encouraging their lover to tell everyone that this is their song, and that it may be simple but it's from the heart. They hope their lover doesn't mind that they put their feelings down in words and express how wonderful life is now that they're in the world.
Overall, the song is a beautiful expression of love and admiration for someone who has changed the singer's life. It's a reminder that the most important things in life aren't money or material possessions, but the people we love and who love us in return.
Line by Line Meaning
It's a little bit funny
This feeling that I have is unusual and amusing.
This feeling inside
The emotions that I'm experiencing within myself.
I'm not one of those who can
I'm not someone who is able to.
Easily hide
Conceal easily from others.
I don't have much money
I am not wealthy.
But boy if I did
However, if I had money,
I'd buy a big house where
I would purchase a large residence where
We both could live.
Both of us could reside together.
So excuse me forgetting
Please forgive me for forgetting.
But these things I do
The things that I do, like forgetting.
See I've forgotten if
I don't remember if.
They're green or they're blue
Your eye color is either green or blue.
Anyway the thing is,
However, what I'm trying to express is,
What I really mean,
The point that I actually want to make,
Yours are the sweetest eyes
Is that your eyes are the kindest, most lovely eyes.
I've ever seen
That I have ever beheld.
And you can tell everybody
Feel free to tell anyone,
This is your song
That this piece is for you.
It may be quite simple but
Although it may be uncomplicated,
Now that it's done
Now that the song is complete,
I hope you don't mind
I hope that you are not upset
That I put down in words
That I expressed in lyrics,
How wonderful life is
How fantastic life can be,
Now you're in the world
Now that you have come into the world.
If I was a sculptor
If I had artistic abilities
But then again no
But in reality, I don't.
Or a girl who makes potions in
Or if I had a talent for creating potions like a traveling magician.
A traveling show
In a show that moves from place to place.
I know it's not much but
I understand that it may not be equivalent, but
It's the best I can do.
This is the greatest contribution that I can provide.
My gift is my song and
I'm offering my talent of song-making as my present and
This one's for you.
This specific song is made and dedicated solely to you.

My late husband sang this to me when we were dating. We got married and a great life for 25yrs., and he died. Now I'm singing this song for you.
