Your Song
Jed Madela Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money boy but if I did
I'll 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 travellin' show
I know its not much but its the best I can do
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that its done
I hope you dont mind I hope you dont mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world
I sat on the roof and I kicked of the moss
Well a few of the verses well they got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
Its for people like you that keep me turned on
So excuse me for forgetting but these things I do
You see eve forgotten if they're green or 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 its done
I hope you dont mind I hope you dont mind
That Ii put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world
I hope you dont mind I hope you dont mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is
Wooh
How wonderful life is now you're in the world
