I don't have much money but boy, if I did
I'm taking you back, yeah
This is your song, this is your song
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
And you can tell everybody this is your song
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It might be quite simple but now that it's done
How wonderful life is while you're in the world, oh yeah, yeah
You can tell, you can tell, you can tell, you can tell that
You're in my world, oh yes, I'm taking you back
I hope you don't mind, I put it down in words
And you can tell everybody 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
My gift is my song and this one's for you, yeah
Said, I hope you don't mind
Ooh, ooh, a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
Or a woman who makes potions in a traveling show
I hope you don't mind
Patti, yes, life is so wonderful when you're in the world
You see, I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Oh, if I was a sculptor but then again, no
I hope you don't mind that I put it down in words
I sat on the roof and I kicked off the moss
Oh, Patti, this is your song, oh, baby, this is your song
Yours are the sweetest eyes, Ms. Patti's ever seen
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
You can tell, you can tell, you can tell, you can tell that
I know, it's not much but it's the best I can do
How wonderful life is Elton, while you're in the world
Anyway, the thing is what I really mean
I'd buy a bigger house where we both could live
How wonderful life is, Patti, oh while you're in the world
