Elton John - 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 seen

It's a generational thing. It depends on your age and when you heard the song for the first time. So many songs have been covered in the last 80+ years; one generation preferred a version instead of another.

But the fact that Ellie Goulding covered "Your song" 40 years later its release says a lot about the quality and the excellence of Elton John & Bernie Taupin's work.

Actually he's underrated by many critics and some sheeplike, fashion-conscious public opinion- because he's been so successful, and because he's been open not mysterious and "cool". If anything he deserves more credit. And of course being gay turned off many bigots.
