Song of the Day

May sound cheesy, but I'm going to start posting a Song of the Day. Music is a huge part of my daily life. I feel like I'm going crazy after a day without music and/or singing. Every time I'm on my computer, I'm listening to something. Every taxicab I take, I'm tapping my toe to their music.

With each YouTube vid post, I'm going to include the lyrics. I have always been a person who listens closely to the words of a song. They speak and set the mood (duh) just as the music does. So, I encourage you to read the lyrics, too. You may think you know a song well, but read the lyrics...maybe several times. You may find (or feel) something new about that song!

So, the 1st SotD is one of my faves. Obviously, it's by Elton John (if you know me well, this is no surprise!) Nothing beats a boy singing while playing the piano.

"This one's for you..."


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
