Al Jarreau - Your Song lyrics

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside

I'm not one of those, who can easily hide

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 was a sculptor, but then again no

Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show

Well, I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do

You see, my gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody, that 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, yes girl

I sat on the roof top, yes I did, then I kicked off the moss

But a few of the verses, you know they, well they got me quite cross

But the sun's been real kind while I wrote down this song

You see, it's for people like you, well it keep it turned on and on

So, please, excuse my forgetting, but these things I do

Well, you see, dear, I've forgotten, if they're green or they're blue

Well, anyway, you know the thing is, what I really mean or say is that

Well that yours are the sweetest eyes I believe I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody, that this is your song, yes you can

Oh, well it may be quite simple but now that it's done

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

And let me sing that line one more time, girl

I hope you don't mind, hope you don't mind

That I put down in words

How wonderful life is while you are in my world

Watching the tide rolls away

I'll be thinking of you love, sweet memories too

All of you
