    Kenton is my wife’s good friend. I know him and I’ve heard him sing in person. All I can say is he’s literally never off key. He’s the best singer I’ve ever heard. And he’s a total sweetheart. Kenton if you see this, Alexa and I love you and I listen to this cover like everyday, and always tear up!
    Your biggest fan,

    YOUR SONG
    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
