🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • I hope you don't mind
  • I hope you don't mind
  • That I put down in the words
  • How wonderful life is while you're in the world

Sing the opening verse

  • 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
hope· esperar / esperançawonderful· maravilhosokind of· meio que
