It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those, who can easily hide
Well, I don't have much money, but boy if I did
You know, 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 travelling show
Well, I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
You see, my gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody, that this is your song
Oh, 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, yes girl

I sat on the roof top, yes I did, then I kicked off the moss
But a few of the verses, you know they, well they got me quite cross
But the sun's been real kind while I wrote down this song
You see, it's for people like you, well it keep it turned on and on

So, please, excuse my forgetting, but these things I do
Well, you see, dear, I've forgotten, if they're green or they're blue
Well, anyway, you know the thing is, what I really mean or say is that
Well that yours are the sweetest eyes I believe I've ever seen 

And you can tell everybody, that this is your song, yes you can
Oh, well it may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

And let me sing that line one more time, girl
I hope you don't mind, hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you are in my world

Watching the tide rolls away
I'll be thinking of you love, sweet memories too
All of you
