 I found her diary underneath the tree and started reading about me

 The words she^?d written took me by surprise; you^?d never read them in

her eyes.

She said that she had found the love she^?d waited for

 Wouldn^?t you know it? She wouldn^?t show it

 Then she, confronted with the writing there, simply pretended not to

care

 I passed it off as just in keeping with her total disconcerting air.

And though 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 life

  I will give to her, my wife

  All the sweet things I can find.

 I found her diary underneath the tree and started reading about me

 The words began to stick, then tears to fall. 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 she can find

  All the sweet things she can find.
