Song of the Week 1: The Diary

Today's Song of the Week is called 'The Diary' and it was written and performed by the American pop group Bread. It focuses on a genre of writing we have not really dealt with namely 'the diary'.

Always potentially a dangerous genre, as this song demonstrates, it is nonetheless a very popular one and one which perhaps more people actually write in than any other.

I found her diary underneath a tree
and started reading about me
the words she's written took me by surprise
you'd never read them in her eyes
They said that she had found
the love she waited for.
Wouldn't you know it,
she wouldn't show it.

When she confronted with the writing there,
simply pretended not to care.
I passed it off as just in keeping with
her total disconcerting air,
although she tried to hide
the love that she denied,
wouldn't you know it,
she wouldn't show it.

And as I go through my l life,
I will give to her my wife,
all the sweet things that I can find.

I found her diary underneath a tree,
and started reading about me,
the words began stick and tears to flow,
her meaning now was clear to see
the love she'd waited for

was someone else not me,
wouldn't you know it,
she wouldn't show it.

And as I go through my life,
I will wish for her his wife,
all the sweet things that she can find
all the sweet things they can find
