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 this one's for you

And you can tell everybody
this is your song
It maybe 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 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 maybe 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
