It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside, but
I'm not one of those, who can easily hide, oh, I
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 were a sculptor, but then again, no
Oh, a man who makes potions in a travelling show
Well 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
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
I sat on the roof, child, yes, I did, in fact, I kicked off the moss
But a few, a few of the verses, you know, they, well, they've got me quite cross
Oh, but the sun's been real kind while I wrote, wrote down this song
You see it's for people like you, they keep it turned on.
So, please excuse my forgetting, of these things I do
Well, you see girl I've forgotten, if they're green or are they're blue
Oh, well anyway, you know, the thing is, honey, what I really mean
Only yours are the sweetest eyes I believe I have ever seen
Oh, lord, ah, you can tell everybody there that, that this is your song
Yes, you can, oh, the whole world may be quite simple but, but now that it's gone
Yes, 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
Every single line, one more time, girl, I hope you don't mind
Hope you don't mind that I put down in words, oh, these sweet words
How wonderful life is, baby, while you're in my world
Believe I sit here on the dock of the bay, watching the tide rolling
Away, say I'll be thinking of you, love, sweet memories to you
