It’s a little bit funny, this feelin’ inside, well I’m
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 liveIf I was a sculptor, but, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelin’ shows
Oh, I know it’s not much, but it’s the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one’s for youAnd 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 worldI sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well, a few of the verses, heh, they 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 onSo 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 seenSo 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 worldSongwriters: Elton John / Bernard J. P. Taupin
