Your Song
Ronan Keating & Elton John 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 travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
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
The beginning of Ronan Keating and Elton John's song Your Song, delivers us an emotional journey through a story that is simple yet beautiful. The song opens with the singer speaking to his lover and telling them that he feels a certain way that is kind of funny. He goes on to point out that he is not the type of person that can hide their emotions easily, and he continues by saying that he doesn't have much money, but if he did, he would buy a big house where they could both live. The singer then goes on to mention that he is not a sculptor or someone who can make potions in a travelling show, but his gift to his lover is his song, and the song he is singing is for them.
The chorus of the song is a soothing melody that conveys so much love and emotion. The singer tells his lover that this is their song, and he hopes they don't mind because it may be quite simple, but it has been done with love. The final verse of the song talks about the writer sitting on the roof and kicking off the moss. He mentions that while writing the song, there were a few verses that got him quite cross, but the sun was quite kind. He goes on to thank people like his lover who keep the world turning and then ends by saying that although he forgets a lot of things, he will never forget his lover's beautiful eyes.

I can't hide my feelings like others can
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I don't have a lot of money, but if I did, I'd buy us a grand house
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
I'd buy us a place to call home where we could live together
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Although it would be nice to be a sculptor, I'm not one

I'm not a travelling potion maker either

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
I sat on the roof and cleared my head

The sun was nice to me while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

Anyway the thing is what I really mean
But the important thing is what I want to say
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
Your eyes are the most beautiful I've ever seen
