Lyrics
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, 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, oh, they've got me quite cross
The sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that, oh, 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, New York, what we really mean
You are the nicest crowd, oh yeah, we've ever seen
Thank you, New York, you're one of a kind
And you can tell everybody that 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 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
Oh-oh-oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
That's your song
