LYRICS:


It's time we should talk about it
there's no secrets kept in here
forgive me for asking
now wipe away your tears

And if I wish to stop it all
and if I wish to comfort the fall
it's just wishful thinking

I sat on the roof
and watched the day go by
I see the likeness in his smile
and the way he stands
makes it all worth while

LYRICS:


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 if I did
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
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
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 and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've 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 on

So excuse me forgetting 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 seen

And 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 world
