Your Song
Patti LaBelle Lyrics

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
This emotion inside is peculiar, but it's significant.

I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I am not someone who can conceal my feelings easily.

I don't have much money but boy if I did
Although I don't have much wealth, if I had enough, I would use it to make us both happy.

I'd buy a big house where we both could live
I would use the money to purchase a large home for both of us to reside in.

If I was a sculptor but then again no
Even though I am not an artist, my sincerity is my artistic expression.

Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
If I were a wizard, I would make a magical potion to impress you.

Oh I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
Although it may not be incredible, it's the best I can do to express my affection for you.

My gift is my song
My talent is singing, and it's my gift to you.

And this one's for you
This one is specially composed for you.

And you can tell everybody this is your song
You can let everyone know this song is yours.

It may be quite simple but now that it's done
Although the song may be uncomplicated, it's been completed and is special.

I hope you don't mind
I'm anticipating that you will not object.

That I put down in words
That I wrote and articulated my feelings through song lyrics.

How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I find the world to be a great place while you exist in it.

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
I sat up on the rooftop to think and reflect.

Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
A few of my song lines have annoyed me.

But the sun's been quite kind
However, the sun has been merciful.

While I wrote this song
During the writing of this song.

It's for people like you that keep it turned on
This song is for individuals like you who continue to enjoy it.

So excuse me forgetting
Apologies for forgetting.

But these things I do
This is just part of my personality.

You see I've forgotten
As you can see, I've forgotten.

If they're green or they're blue
Whether they are green or blue.

Anyway the thing is what I really mean
The most important part is what I am attempting to convey.

Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
Your eyes are the most beautiful and pleasant eyes I have witnessed.

And you can tell everybody this is your song
You can tell everyone that this song is dedicated to you.

It may be quite simple but
This song might not be too complicated, but

Now that it's done
Once it's completed.

I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't have any issue with it.

That I put down in words
That I wrote it all down in lyrics.

How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I find life to be magnificent while you are present in it.
