Letter to Hermione

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 do do dah

Do do do dah dah da da da

Do do do dah dah

The hand that wrote this letter

Sweeps the pillow clean

So rest your head and read a treasured dream

I care for no one else but you

I tear my soul to cease the pain

I think maybe you feel the same

What can we do?

I'm not quite sure what we're supposed to do

So I've been writing just for you

They say your life is going very well

They say you sparkle like a different girl

But something tells me that you hide

When all the world is warm and tired

You cry a little in the dark

Well so do I

I'm not quite sure what you're supposed to say

But I can see it's not okay

He makes you laugh

He brings you out in style

He treats you well

And makes you up real fine

And when he's strong

He's strong for you

And when you kiss

It's something new

But did you ever call my name

Just by mistake?

I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do

So I'll just write some love to you

Du du duuu, du-du-du do-do-do do do doaoaoaaaa
