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 traveling 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
REFRAIN:
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
[refrain]
And you can tell everybody...
