The Understudy
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.
Do you wear a smile
dress up all the time
feel real satisfied
always by my side
I do believe your mine
want you for all time
Do you wear a crown
reigning over me
feel real confident
always on my mind
I do believe your mine
want you for all time
Baby, now I see it well
maybe time and time will tell
for the understudy
Do you count the days
knowing my indecision
promises I have made
fueled with deep suspicion
I do believe your mine
want you for all time
Baby, now I see it well
yes it's true that time will tell
for the understudy
