エルトン・ジョンのアルバムを購入するのは今回が二度め。高校生の時に買った『青い肖像[BLUE MOVES]』以来だから46年ぶりかぁ? しかも今回買ったのはデビュー後2作目のアルバムで、Used CD 。
早速、カーステレオで流してみれば、懐かしい曲が流れてきた。邦題「
僕の歌は君の歌」……、あぁ懐かし過ぎる、いい曲だね。

今宵は、『Elton John』を聴きながら一献傾ける…、としよう。
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
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
