It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside.
But I'm not one of those who can easily hide.
I don't got much money but, girl, if I did,
I'd buy you 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 this song and it's for you.
And you can tell everybody that 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 a rooftop, and kicked off some moss.
Well a few of these verses, well they've got me quite cross.
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote you this song.
It's for people like you girl that keep me turned on.
So excuse me forgetting, but these things that I do.
I've seemed to forgotten if they're green or they're blue.
Anyways, the thing is, what I really mean,
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen.
And you can tell everybody that 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. |
