Your Song
Ewan McGregor; Alessandro Safina Lyrics

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
The singer is acknowledging that their emotions for the recipient of the song are unusual and difficult to describe.

I'm not one of those who can easily hide
The singer is not one to suppress their emotions and is willing to express them openly.

I don't have much money but boy if I did
The singer admits that they do not have much in terms of material possessions, but they would use their resources to make their loved one happy.

I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If the artist had plenty of money, they would like to purchase a large residence where they and their loved one could reside together.

If I was a sculptor but then again no
The artist muses on the possibility of being gifted in the arts, but acknowledges that this is not the case.

Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
The singer considers the possibility of having a unique talent, such as being an artist or magician, but recognizes that this is not true either.

Oh I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
Although the singer is not particularly talented or wealthy, they are doing their best to convey their emotions through this song.

My gift is my song
The artist recognizes that music is their talent and is using it to express their love and gratitude for their recipient.

And this one's for you
The song is dedicated to the recipient of the artist's affection.

And you can tell everybody this is your song
The artist would like others to know that this song is written for their loved one's enjoyment and appreciation.

It may be quite simple but now that it's done
Although the song may not have elaborate lyrics or music, the singer has given it their all to create a heartfelt message.

I hope you don't mind
The artist is politely asking if their loved one is okay with the song and the sentiments expressed within.

That I put down in words
Through the song, the singer is expressing their feelings and thoughts through the power of music.

How wonderful life is while you're in the world
The singer is acknowledging how much joy and happiness their recipient brings into their life.

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
The singer recollects a moment where they sat on a roof, enjoying the peacefulness and beauty of nature.

Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
The artist admits to some frustration in creating the song, as not all of the lyrics came easily to them.

But the sun's been quite kind
Despite any struggles, the artist acknowledges that they have been fortunate in life.

While I wrote this song
The singer reflects on the process of creating the song and the emotions they felt while doing so.

It's for people like you that
The song is written for those who bring joy and positivity into the singer's life, particularly the recipient.

Keep it turned on
The artist hopes that those listening to the song will be moved by its message and continue to appreciate and enjoy it.

So excuse me forgetting
The artist apologizes for momentarily forgetting something important.

But these things I do
The artist acknowledges that they make mistakes, but they are still doing their best.

You see I've forgotten
The singer has forgotten something specific, but it is unclear what.

If they're green or they're blue
The forgotten thing may be related to the color of something, possibly the recipient's eyes.

Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Regardless of the forgotten detail, the singer wants to emphasize their true message and feelings for the recipient.

Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
The singer exclaims their admiration for the recipient's eyes, considering them the most beautiful they have ever witnessed.

I hope you don't mind
The singer is again politely asking if the recipient is comfortable and pleased with the song.

That I put down in words
The artist is proud of their ability to express themselves through the written word, particularly in the form of this song.

How wonderful life is while you're in the world
The song concludes with a reminder of how much joy and happiness the recipient brings into the artist's life.
