elton johnun 1970 yilinda piyasaya cikan "elton john" isimli albumunun ikinci sarkisidir.sözleri:
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
hissetiklerim, gülünç biraz
hislerini kolay saklayamayanlardanım
çok param yok, ama olsaydı
büyük bir ev alırdım ikimiz için
eger bir heykeltraş olsaydım, ya da boşver
gezgin bir gösteride iksirler yapan birisi
çok degil biliyorum ama yapabileceğimin en iyisi
hediyem şarkım, ve bu senin için
herkese söyleyebilirsin, bu benim şarkım diye
kolay olabilir, ama yazıldı bir kere
umarım aldırmazsın sözleri de eklememe
hayat ne kadar harika sen varken dünyada
çatıda oturdum ve otları tekmeledim
beni zorladı kıtalardan bir kaç tanesi
ama ben bu şarkıyı yazarken güneş çok cömertti,
devam etmesini sağlayan, insanlar senin gibi
unuttugum için affet, ama böyle şeyler yapıyorum işte
görüyorsun, mavi mi yeşil mi olduklarını unuttum
her neyse, söylemek istediğim
gördüğüm en tatlı gözler senin
herkese söyleyebilirsin, bu benim şarkım diye
kolay olabilir, ama yazıldı bir kere
umarım aldırmazsın sözleri de eklememe
hayat ne kadar harika sen varken dünyada
billy paul'un insanin içine ılgıt ılgıt hoş seyler dolmasina sebebiyet veren saglam parçası:
It's a little bit funny, Lord, 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 mansion where we both could live
If, if I was a sculpture, Lord, honey, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelin' show
I know it's not much, I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
You gave a gift, Lord, and I'm gon' sing it for you
And you can tell everybody that this is your song
It may be quite, quite simple but that's how it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind what I wrote down in words,
words
How wonderful life is when you're in the world, world, world
If, if, if I was on a rooftop I'd kick off my shoes
I'll write a few verses, and then I get the blues
But the sun's been quite, quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you and people like me
I wanna, I wanna keep turnin' on
So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do, Lord
You see, you see I've forgotten if they're green or blue
Anyway the things is, anyway the thing is, what I really mean
Your are the sweetest eyes, you've got the sweetest eyes
The clearest eyes I've ever seen, I hope you know that
I hope you, I hope you wrote back and tell everybody that this is your
song
It may be quite, quite simple but now that's how it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind, but I wrote down in words,
Lord, words
I'm doin' it for how wonderful life is when you're in the world, world,
world
If, if, if I was on a rooftop I'd kick off my shoes
I'll write a few verses, and then I'll get the blues
But the sun's been quite, quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you, people like me
I wanna, wanna keep turnin' on, so excuse me, so excuse me
So excuse me forgetting, Lord, these things I do
You see, you see I've forgotten if they're green or blue, baby
And anyway the things is, anyway the thing is, what I really mean
Your are the sweetest eyes, the sweetest eyes
The sweetest eyes I've ever seen
I hoping you go back, go back and tell everybody that Billy Paul's got a
song
I'm, I'm gonna sit upon a, a rooftop and kick off my shoes
I'm gonna write it, write it, write it
I might come out with the Gospel, the Blues, the Jazz, the Rock and Roll
I'm gonna, got to, got to write me a simple song for everybody because
this is my song
It may be quite, quite simple but that's how it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind what I wrote down in words,
words
You come on back, you try to try again, try again
Tell everybody that Billy Paul got a song
It may be quite, quite simple but that's how it's done, baby
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind what I wrote down in words
Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it
"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"
