Your Song
Elton John - www.musicasparabaixar.org Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a little bit funny
This feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
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
Ha
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

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

Overall Meaning

Elton John's "Your Song" is a beautiful ballad about expressing love and affection through a personalized song. The opening lines of the song, "It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside, I'm not one of those who can easily hide," suggest that the person singing the song is a little nervous or vulnerable. He then goes on to mention that he doesn't have much money but if he did, he would buy a big house for himself and his partner. However, he is not a sculptor or a man who makes potions, but rather his gift is his song.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the personalization of the song by saying "And you can tell everybody, this is your song." The song is simple, but it comes from the heart and expresses how wonderful life is with the person that he is singing to. The lyrics about forgetting whether things are green or blue show that the person singing the song is human and flawed, but still in awe of the person they are singing to.


Overall, "Your Song" is a beautiful and heartfelt love song that emphasizes the importance of personalization and sincerity in expressing affection.
