"Your Song" by Elton John.

My husband and I met when I was 13 and we were very tight from then until we got separated and lost touch until I was 17 and we've been together since. I dedicated this song to him many many years ago, when I was just 13. I used to write him poems and paint him pictures and that song was the closest I could come to letting him know how I felt about him. Both of us being artists on some level or another, him with music and me with writing and painting, it just seemed to fit us like a glove:

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
