Don't Smoke, Darling
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.
When we came together,
We knew we were meant for each other,
Knew I'd always love you,
And I want you to be free,
I knew I'd always love you,
But there's just one thing I'm asking of you,
Don't smoke, darling,
Your lungs belong to me.
Chorus:
Don't smoke, darling,
I worry so about you,
Don't smoke, darling,
I could not live without you.
Please kick the habit
And happy we will be.
Don't smoke, darling,
Your lungs belong to me.
I love you so completely,
Inside, outside, head-to-feetly,
You are such a wonder
To consider and to see,
If you knew what just one slip meant
You'd take care of your equipment,
Don't smoke, darling,
Your lungs belong to me.
(Chorus)
