Your Song
Roberto Justus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This feeling inside
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 travelling 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

Line by Line Meaning
It's a little bit funny
I'm feeling something that's hard to express
This feeling inside
Emotions I can't quite explain
I'm not one of those
I can't easily hide my true feelings
Who can easily hide
Unlike people who can easily suppress their emotions
I don't have much money
I'm not rich
But boy if I did
But if I were rich
I'd buy a big house
I'd like to buy a large home
Where we both could live
Where we could both reside
If I were a sculptor
If I had artistic abilities
But then again, no
Actually, I don't have that talent
Or a man who makes potions
Or if I had skill in making elixirs
In a travelling show
As a member of a touring group
I know it's not much
I realize it's not impressive
But it's the best I can do
But this is the most I can offer
My gift is my song
The only thing I'm good at is writing tunes
And this one's for you
And this song was composed especially for you
And you can tell everybody
You have my permission to let everyone know
This is your song
That you're the inspiration for this melody
It may be quite simple
It's not very complex
But now that it's done
But now that it's finished
I hope you don't mind
I hope you're not bothered
That I put down in words
That I wrote my feelings down
How wonderful life
Life is great
Is while
Especially when
You're in the world
You're a part of it
I sat on the roof
I was sitting on the roof
And kicked off the moss
And brushing off the grass
Well a few
Although some
Of the verses well
Of some of the lyrics
They've got me quite cross
Are making me quite upset
But the sun's
But the sunshine
Been quite kind
Has been very helpful
While I wrote this song
While I was writing this tune
It's for people like you
It's meant for individuals such as yourself
That keep it turned on
Who keep enjoying it
So excuse me forgetting
Pardon my forgetfulness
But these things I do
I am prone to forget these details
You see I've forgotten
I must have blanked out
If they're green
I don't recall if they're green
Or they're blue
Or maybe they're blue
Anyway the thing
Regardless of that
Is what I really mean
What matters the most is what I'm trying to express
Yours are
Your eyes are
The sweetest eyes
The loveliest eyes
I've ever seen
That I've personally witnessed
