Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
Oh, 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
[Chorus]
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 into words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
[Verse 3]
I sat on the roof and kicked up 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
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
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 into words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
[Outro]
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down into words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
