"Your Song"

"Your Song" was composed and performed by Elton John in 1970, which is quite surprising to me as I really thought this song came out a lot later. Probably because this song has been sung by so many singers and used in so many flicks. As there are so many versions I will reveal to you the one's I enjoyed the most.

Well the reason I remembered how beautiful this song is, is because I saw "Gnomeo and Juliet" a couple of weeks ago and I said to myself.. I have to include this song in my favourites as it's just beautiful. The movie was a very sweet animation and the music they included in the soundtrack is just great. Sneak peek of the clip from the movie with a short version of "Gnomeo and Juliet" version and Elton John's version is mixed in the one I included.

I remember distinctly hearing this song in "Moulin Rouge"(featuring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor) performed by Ewan McGregor in the movie in 2001. A very talented man being able to act and sing so well. He does a great version of this song in a great musical. I can't help but associate this with "Come What May" , this was another Unbelievable song with a great melody and beautiful lyrics. It also featured in "Moulin Rouge" and was performed by both McGregor and Kidman. So for your pleasure I have included this song too..What do you think of it?

I can't not mention the great lyrics and meaning of the lyrics of "Your Song" , It's just like someone special speaking to you from the heart , you can really hear the words. Who wouldn't want a song dedicated to them as "Your song".I'm still waiting for "My song" hint hint nudge nudge wink wink. Another grand song is the lyrics of "Come what may" , well need I say more? Enjoy all the versions and all the lyrics. Don't be shy to give your feedback.. Today is mushy day for all.

Your Song Lyrics

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

Come What May
Lyrics

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I'm loving you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Chorus:
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time

Chorus:
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Chorus:
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day
