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

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

How wonderful life is while you're in the world

So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do

You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue

Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

That I put down in words,

How wonderful life is while you're in the world
Bm Bm/A
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
Bm/Ab G
That I put down in words,
D Em G D G A G D
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
