Elton John interpreta Your Song no programa Top Of The Pops em 1971

"Elton John" é o segundo disco do artista, lançado em 1970

Essa apresentação de "Your Song" foi a segunda aparição de Elton John no programa Top Of The Pops, exibida em 14 de janeiro de 1971. Isso aconteceu apenas uma semana antes de a música se tornar a primeira participação na parada Inglesa de Singles.
Presente no segundo álbum homônimo de Elton no Reino Unido, a agora clássica balada chegou à sétima posição e passou 10 semanas no Top 40. Esta apresentação foi gravada no Centro de Televisão da BBC e apresenta os membros da banda Nigel Olsson na bateria e Dee Murray no baixo.

VOCÊ SABIA? 
"Your Song" é conhecida por ter sido escrita em um tempo extremamente curto. Taupin (com dezessete anos) escreveu a letra durante o café da manhã e Elton demorou vinte minutos para compor a música para ela.

YOUR SONG
Bernie Taupin - Elton John

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

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 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
