It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside I'm not one of those who can easily hide Don't have much money, but boy if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live, yeah If I was a sculptor, and 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, and this one's for you And you can tell everybody, this is a song 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 Yeah 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 me turning on So excuse me for getting, but there's things I do You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue Anyway the thing is, what I've really been Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen And you can tell everybody, this is your song And 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 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 While you're in the world While you're in the world
