A Song For You - not a love song or dedication

I was listening to Elton John on the way home. I used to always think Phil Collins was way better than Elton. That drum part in 'In The Air Tonight'... shivers, I love that. But Elton wins hands down over the little drummer boy. I was going to post I'm Still Standing, or Goodbye Yellow Brick Road or Daniel or Me First and the Gimme Gimme's version of Rocket Man... but chose this instead. It made me smile the most. It's a dedication to my friends, not a love song and dedication, just a song because you're all super awesome in your own special way to me (blegh emo emo emo shoot it down!). So, if any of you read this, here's my song for YOU.

Words by Elton John and Bernie Taupin

YOUR SONG

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 see
