Elton John a Little Bit Funny

Elton John Lyrics

"Your Song"
("Elton John" Version)

It's a little bit funny, 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, heh, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling 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

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

When Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics for this song he was 17. He explained in an interview in 1989, "I was 17 years old, and it was coming from someone whose outlook on love or experience with love was totally new and naïve." He added, "You have to write from where you are at a particular point in time, and 'Your Song' is exactly where I was coming from back then."

Bernie Taupin wrote the words for this song over breakfast. Elton wrote the music in about 20 minutes.

Elton John once said of this song, "I don't think I've written a love song as good since."

"Your Song" was first released by Three Dog Night on their album "It Ain't Easy" (1970). Elton John performed as an opening act for them at the time and allowed them to record it. They did not release it as a single, though, because they wanted John to have a go with it.

When John Lennon heard this song for the first time he thought, "Great, that's the first new thing that's happened since we (The Beatles) happened." He revealed it in a 1975 interview with Rolling Stone adding, "It was a step forward."
