This Is My Song...And No Can Take It Away


This is my song
And no one can take it away
It's been so long, but now you're here,
here to stay
And I wonder if you know what it means
To find your dreams come true

When I first heard "I Wonder" from Kanye West's Graduation album. I instantly fell in love with the beginning sample and wondered who exactly it was and where it's from. Well after some reasearch I found out and I found the mp3 over at "Kevin Nottingham". This song is getting alot of attention due to Kanye's sample of it. The song is My Song by Labi Siffre from his Crying Laughing Loving Lying LP. The entire album is something every music listener would enjoy.

Here are the lyrics if you'd like to sing along....and the mp3.

Labi Siffre - My Song

This is my song
And no one can take it away
It's been so long, but now you're here,
here to stay
And I wonder if you know what it means
To find your dreams come true

This is my song
And no one can make it a lie
It's been so long since someone
Could make me cry
And I wonder if you know what it means
To laugh as tears go by

I may not always sing in tune
And sometimes you don't hear me
But you don't have to be near me
To know that I'm singing

This is my song
And nothing can make it die
It's been so long and it's stronger
I know why
And I wonder if you really, really know
That as long as I live I will sing my song for you
