Don't Tell Me
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.
Don't tell me her eyes are bright as diamonds
Don't tell me her lips are sweet as wine
Her smile thrills you so and I guess I ought to know
Your new love is an old love of mine
Don't tell me how she snuggles closer and laugs at every silly little line
I guess I ought to know you see I love her so your new love is a lost love of mine
[ guitar - steel ]
Don't tell me she's sweet as sugar candy don't tell me she's everything that's fine
Don't you realize to me it's no surprice your new love is an old love of mine
Don't tell me she'll wear a veil of white don't tell me it's your name now she'll sign
Your new bride to be meant everything to me your new love is a lost love of mine
