In My Diary
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.
In my diary
A lot of things
I'm gonna write, write about
The moon and lonely night
In my diary
Oh it's gonna tell her about you
Tell her all your charms
And the things you do
Diaries are made
Of the things you do
And of the people we've met
Ohhhh, but my diary is about you
And I don't want to forget
In my diary
I write as plain
As plain as I get
A picture with words
So the world can understand
Ohhhh so they can understand
So the world, world, world, world, world
Can understand
