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 I if 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 i’t not much, but it’s the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one’s for you.

And you can tell everybody, this is your song
It may be uite 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 corss
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 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 uite 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
