The lyrics you provided are actually from Elton John's song "Your Song", not Al Jarreau's. "Your Song" was written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin and released in 1970. The song is essentially a love song where the narrator expresses his feelings for someone special in his life. He starts by admitting that he feels a certain way inside, but he's not someone who can easily hide his emotions. He acknowledges that he doesn't have much money, but if he did, he would buy a big house for both of them to live in. The narrator then goes on to say that if he had a different talent, like being a sculptor or a maker of potions, he would use that talent to impress the person he's singing about. But since he doesn't have any special talents, he gives them his song as a gift. He tells the person that they can tell everybody that this song is for them. Although the song may be simple, he hopes they don't mind because it's a heartfelt expression of his love and admiration. He then describes how wonderful life is with them in it. The narrator mentions sitting on a roof and getting frustrated while writing the song, but the sun has been kind to him. He emphasizes that the song is for people like the person he loves because they keep his music alive. He asks for forgiveness for forgetting certain things, explaining that he can't remember if they were green or blue. Nevertheless, he wants to convey that the person's eyes are the sweetest he's ever seen. In the end, the narrator invites the person to tell everyone that this song is theirs. He acknowledges that the world may be simple now that the song is complete, and he expresses his hope that the person doesn't mind that he wrote these words. He reiterates how wonderful life is with them in his world. It's important to note that Al Jarreau is not associated with this song. It is primarily credited to Elton John and has been covered by numerous artists over the years.
