I once knew a girl Who loved to write Secret stories and poems That nobody read in sight She wrote by herself Alone in her room Locked in her diary With a heart that was gloom The words were so deep They came from her soul Her pen was a key That unlocked her control We sat in the park Watching the sunset fade When she read me her verse And showed me her shade I wasn't surprised I knew what to say So I read her my lines And said "I write all day."
