Your Song - Live At Hammersmith Odeon, London/ 1973

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
boy 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
traveling 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
