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 now you're in the world./ I sat on the roof, and i kicked off the moss,/ Cause some of these verses well, they got me quite cross,/ but the sun's been kind/oh while i wrote this song,/ it's for people like you that keep it turned on,/ so excuse my forgetting/ but these things i do,/ you see i've forgotten if they're green or they're blue,/ but see the thing is, while i'm still living,/ yours are the sweetest eyes i'v ever seen./ And you can tell everybody/ this is your song/ it may be quite simple but,/ now that it's done, oh/ I hope you don't mind,/ i hope you don't mind that i put down in words/ how wonderful life is/ Now you're in the world!

    General Comment:This is one of the sweetest, simplest, and most romantic songs ever. My boyfriend called me one day, put the phone up to the piano, and sang this song for me. I just about melted into a little puddle! So whenever I hear it, I think of him.

    General Comment:I love this song. I love the way Christian looks directly into Satine's eyes as he sings it. It's a very simple, yet very eloquent song.

    General Comment:Yeah, it's so funny...you're like laughing out loud and then suddenly BOOM! he starts singing his heart out, *sigh* with that voice...it's like the sweetest voice ever, it just melts in your ears and you want to sing but at the same time you don't want to spoil the moment, and I just feel like crying whenever I hear it. Really, the lyrics are great so BRAVO Elton John, but it's Ewan McGregor's voice that really gets me sentimental, you can really tell that Christian is in love!
