[Verse 1] Dear diary, what a day its been Dear diary, its been just like a dream Woke up too late, wasnt where I should have been For goodness sake whats happening to me? [Refrain] Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary [Verse 2] It was cold outside my door So many people by the score Rushing around so senselessly They dont notice theres people like me [Refrain] Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary [Bridge] They dont know what theyre playing No, theyve no way of knowing what the game is Still they carry on doing what they can [Refrain] Outside me, oh politely, dear diary [Verse 4] Its over, will tomorrow be the same? I know that theyre really not to blame If they werent so blind then surely theyd see Theres a much better way for them to be [Refrain] Inside me, yours truly, dear diary [Outro] Dear diary, it was cold today But the sun came out later So I went out and strolled about looking at the shops Didnt really see anything I liked So I didnt buy anything On the way home, I posted a letter Been quite a nice day Somebody exploded an Hbomb today But it wasnt anybody I knew
diary, dear, refrain, truly, lightly
