If I was a   , but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a   show
I know it's not   but it's the best I can do
My   is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your  
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't  
I hope you don't mind that I put   in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the  

I sat on the   and kicked off the  
Well a few of the   well
they've got me quite  
But the sun's been quite

It's for people like you that keep it   on

So excuse me   but these things I do
You see I've forgotten
if they're green or they're  
Anyway the thing is what I really  
Yours are the   eyes I've ever seen
