Text u. Musik: Elton John u. Bernie Taupin ELTON JOHN auf Ariola (Hansa)

It’s a little bit funny, thls feeling Inside l’m not one of those who can easily hide I don’t have much money, but boy if I dld l’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 if« not much, but it’s the best I can do My gift Is my song and this one’s for you And you can teil everybody, thls Is your song I may be quite simple but now that it’s done I hope you don’t mind, (2x) That I put down in words How wonderful life is whlle you’re In the wortd. I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss Well a few of the verses, well they’ve got me quite dross 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 forgettlng, but these thlngs I do You see Ive forgotten, If they’re green or they’re blue Anyway the thing is, what I really mean Yours are the sweetest eyes l’ve ever seen.
