Intro

Verse 1

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside

I'm not one of those who can easily hide

Don't 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 travelling show

I know it's not much but it's the best I can do

My gift is my song, and this one 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 in words...,

How wonderful life is while you're in the world

Instrumental

Verse 3

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss

Well a few of the verses well they got me quite crossed

But the sun's been quite kind, while I wrote this song

It's for people like you that keep 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 reallly 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 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
