It's a little bit funny, this feelin' 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 If I was a sculptor, but then again no Or a man who makes potions in a travelin' 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 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 up 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 guys 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 How wonderful life is while you're in the world
