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 traveling show
Oh 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

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

Playing this along with you, knowing folks all around the world are playing it, too, is just a sublime experience of deep connection and visceral joy. What a great thing you've shared with us! The power of music. Thank you.

Thank you so much for the song. I saw the Rocketman-Movie twice and this song always, always makes my cry, cause in the movie it is one of the best way to explane, what a true and honest friendship can be. ❤️❤️❤️

How lovely.... I can only aspire to this. My first ukulele arrived today. First achievement was getting it in tune and managing a down strum 👍. your kitty is Gorgeous xx

[raymondchew]

Recording is much better. Vocal is sweet and strumming and finger picking is fantastic...so enjoyable...

[catalinanavarretem.]

I enjoy listening to your sweet voice and watch your kind face... it makes me love more and more playing the ukulele.
Thank you for sharing this play along... 'your song' is an incredible song :)

I’ve been playing my uke for 3 months now and I’m becoming a Patreon as you are so instrumental in my progress (no pun intended). Thank you so much for what you do. I retired from an I.T. career and it took two-plus years to find a hobby. Ukulele is a wonderful find. My octogenarian parents love for me to bring it to their place to play and ask each time if I’ve brought it. 😊

[MrMaestroSoda]

Wow... thanks so much!! I have to say that the kitty I live with always does the same... she appears nearby when I start to play my ukulele... Really smart animals, cats...

[mayabaroom]

This is really annoying me now... Why would anyone give this a thumbs down!? Thanks Cynthia. lovely video

[olivielivielivie]

You are such an awesome teacher! Thank you for this tutorial and cover ❤️ I just picked my uke back up again. You helped me learn my first song (creep- radiohead) back in the day!! Thank you so much for all your kind help 💞

[WestminsterUkeladies]

Thank you for all your great Play-Along and teachings! You are amazing!

[serenityartist]

Hello dear friend. Thank you Cynthia for all love and talent you put into your music and that you share with all of us!

[megly]

How wonderful life is when i hear you sing, merci a gogo de France

[wenrl]

I'm so excited about this! I have been listening to Elton John nonstop since I saw Rocketman. Thank you!
