text: Its a little bit funny this feeling inside
  Im not one of those who can easily hide
  I dont have much money but boy, if I did
  Id buy a bigger house where we both could live
  Oh, if I was a sculptor but then again, no
  Or a woman who makes potions in a traveling show
  I know, its not much but its the best I can do
  My gift is my song and this ones for you, yeah
  And you can tell everybody this is your song
  It might be quite simple but now that its done
  I hope you dont mind, I hope you dont mind that I put down in words
  How wonderful life is while youre in the world, oh yeah, yeah
  I sat on the roof and I kicked off the moss
  Ooh, ooh, a few of the verses well theyve got me quite cross
  But the suns been quite kind while I wrote this song
  Its for people like you that keep it turned on
  So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
  You see, Ive forgotten if theyre green or theyre blue
  Anyway, the thing is what I really mean
  Yours are the sweetest eyes, Ms. Pattis ever seen
  And you can tell everybody this is your song
  It may be quite simple but now that its done
  Said, I hope you dont mind
  I hope you dont mind, I put it down in words
  How wonderful life is Elton, while youre in the world
  I hope you dont mind
  I hope you dont mind that I put it down in words
  How wonderful life is, Patti, oh while youre in the world
  Youre in my world, oh yes, Im taking you back
  Im taking you back, yeah
  Patti, yes, life is so wonderful when youre in the world
  Oh, Patti, this is your song, oh, baby, this is your song
  This is your song, this is your song
  This is your song, this is your song
  You can tell, you can tell, you can tell, you can tell that
  You can tell, you can tell, you can tell, you can tell that
  You can tell, you can tell, you can tell, you can tell that
