[Song]Your Song

Your Song

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Elton John

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, 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

下班的路上，聽到這首歌，不由得讓我想到 Mouline Rouge 裡面的故事，不由得想起 Ewan McGregor 所飾演的 Christine 對於 Nicole Kidman 所扮演的 Satine 的那份真摯的愛。

後來，聽主持人講，這首歌是 Elton John 這位老牌歌星所主唱的，才發現，其實，他跟 Ewan McGregor 唱的各有各的味道，Ewan 的聲音比較多的感情，可是比較單薄；Elton的聲音，有種歷經滄桑的感覺。

或許，到了該去逛唱片行找找 Elton John 的 CD 的時候到了。
