Your Song
Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Oh I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
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

Can you imagine Ewan McGregor looking at you like that and singing to you with the most angelic voice in the world?
@lisak.h.1671
yep, been doing that for 2 decades now
@cherylheatherington8388
I wish
@pop-culturecinephile8144
If you thought he could not sing, you were sadly mistaken
@bozanimal5576
Pretty sure Nicole Kidman is the only human being capable of responding with equal smoldering intensity.
The rest of us would just burn into dust.
@lydias8303
@@bozanimal5576 UGH I know, they're unbelievable onscreen together
@SammyNic
As a young boy, I remember feeling a tightness in my chest during this scene when I first watched it. As I aged, I realised it's because I had(and I still do) a crush on Ewan McGregor. Lmao.
