It´s a little bit funny this feeling 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, 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 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 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

{Sur certains enregistrements:}

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 now 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 now you´re in the world
