Your Song
Moulin Rouge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My gift is my song
And this one's for you...
And you can tell everybody
That 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

Sat on the roof
And I kicked off the moss
Well, some of the verses
Well, they got me quite cross
But the sun's been kind
While I wrote this song
It's for people like you that
Keep it turned on

So excuse me for 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


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

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
