I love this song so much. I think it's best on piano but it works on guitar as well. Capo on 1 st. If you want it to sound like the original. 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 my 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 Chorus How wonderful life is while you're in the world
