A wonderful song. Although this was a Bernie Taupin, Elton John collaboration, it was first recorded by Three Dog Night before Elton had his break as a solo artist. Three Dog Night chose not to release it as a single, foreseeing that it would give Elton his big break. Elton later scored his first chart hit with this song which set him on the road to stardom. Its popularity means he still plays it at every concert.



***

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 travelling 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

  • Ha, Elton John...

    Super-cool.

    Fantastic, as usual.

  • Thank you. This song isn't getting much of an audience. Too much competition I suspect.

    Note to self: do covers of great songs that aren't well-represented on YouTube but SHOULD BE!

  • Such a great song, great version.

  • Thanks for listening to this. I guess there must be a ton of covers of this around - no-one's finding it!
