Jealous
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh sweetheart, sweetheart, I tried my best
To let you do just as you please
But my heart, poor heart won't turn the test
I find it full of little jealousies
I tried and tried to hide it all from you
But really, Dear, it's more than I can do
I'm jealous of the moon that shines above
Because it smiles upon the one I love
I'm jealous of the birdies in the trees
They're always singing sweetest melodies
I'm jealous of the pretty flowers, too
I miss the kiss they always get from you
I'm jealous of the tick-tock on the shelf
I'm even getting jealous of myself
Each day, dear, I fear, I'm loosing you
That soon you'll leave me all alone
If you go, you'll know that I'll be blue
Just longing for the one I call my own
I hardly know just where to place the blame
But here are quite a few things I could name
I'm jealous of the moon that shines above
Because it smiles upon the one I love
I'm jealous of the birdies in the trees
They're always singing sweetest melodies
I'm jealous of the pretty flowers, too
I miss the kiss they always get from you
I'm jealous of the tick-tock on the shelf
I'm even getting jealous of myself
