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 If I was a sculptor, but then again no, or a man who makes potions in a traveling show Oh, 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 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 off the moss Well, a few of the verses, well, they've got me quite crossed But the sun's been quite bright 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 a 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 While you're in the world
