Al Jarreau
Your Song
[Verse 1]
It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
But I'm not one of those who can easily hide, oh I
Well, I don't have much money, but boy if I did
You know I'd buy a big house where we both could live, oh live

[Verse 2]
If I were a sculptor, but then again no
Or a man sitting making potions in a traveling show, oh I
Well, I know it's not much, but girl, it's the best I can do
You see, my gift is my song and this here one's for you, ooh, just for you

[Chorus]
And you can tell everybody that, that this is your song
Oh, the words may be quite simple but now that it's done, yeah
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, yes girl, uh huh, yes girl

[Verse 3]
I sat on the roof child, yes I did in fact, I kicked off the moss
But a few, a few of the verses, you know they, well they got me quite cross
Oh, but the sun's been real kind while I wrote, wrote down this song
You see it's for people like you that, well that keep it turned on, oh

[Verse 4]
So please excuse my forgetting, but these things I do, yeah
Well, you see girl I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Oh, well anyway, you know the thing is, honey, what I really mean
God knows that only yours are the sweetest eyes I believe I have ever seen
Oh Lord, yeah
[Chorus]
And you can tell everybody there that, that this is your song, yes you can
Oh, the words may be quite simple but, but now that it's done
Yes, I hope you don't mind, don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
Every single line, one more time, girl
I hope you don't mind, hope you don't mind
That I put down in words, ooh, these sweet words
How wonderful life is, baby, while you are in my world

[Outro]
Believe I sit you here on the dock of the bay, watching the tide rolling away
Say I'll be thinking of you, love, sweet memories to all of you, all of you
