Teksten uttrykker de romantiske tankene til en uskyldig. Taupin kommer med en enkel kjærlighetssangtekst i begynnelsen: «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 it's done».
