I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
And you can tell everybody this is your song
Or a man who makes potions in a travellin' show
And you can tell everybody this is the song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
Anyway the thing is, what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
Well a few of the verses, well they've got me quite cross
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
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
If I was a sculptor ha, but then again no
That I put down in words
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
Don't have much money, boy, but if I did
I'll buy a big house where we both could live
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
So excuse me forgettin', but these things I do
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
It may be quite simple now that it's done
You see I've forgotten, if they're green or they're blue
My gift is my song and this one's for you
