Letra Your Song

La canción Your Song, escrita por Elton John y Bernie Taupin, fue compuesta una mañana en la casa de los padres de Elton en 1967. Taupin escribió la letra después del desayuno y Elton compuso la melodía en solo 20 minutos. Es una de las canciones más aclamadas del dúo, conocida por su simplicidad melódica y sinceridad emocional.

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

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 now you're in the world

If I was a sculptor, but then again no
Or a girl 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 now you're in the world
