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 traveling show    I know it's not much but it's the best I can do    My gift is my song yeah, 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 forget, 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       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
