It's a little bit funny

this feelin' inside

I'm not one of those

who can easily hide

I 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, huh

but then again, no

or a man who makes potions

in a travellin' 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 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 it turned on

So excuse me forgettin'

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 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
