my gift is my song

and this one's for you (yes! you!!)
.
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 all could live if I was a sculptor, but then again, no or someone 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
(yes! 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 my 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
(yes! you!!) that keep me 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 never seen

Well shoot--I'm spoilt and of the Elton John era (is there such a thing?). And I've not seen the movie, though I probably would enjoy it (knowing me!).

Oh, but I so like the photos. 'Specially the snail fellas! :-)
