Her Diary
Composed by Connie Boss
Verse1:
I was searching through the trunk in the attic
In it were my great grandmas things
There were old photographs and lace
Her diary and an old wedding ring
Refrain 1:
I read her diary
Each word made me feel
As if she were me
It all seemed so real
Verse 2:
She wrote about her true love
I didnt know there was anyone else
Her marriage was pre-arranged
She grew to love in spite how shed felt
Refrain 2:
I read those words that she wrote
About the man of her dreams
A part of her had died
At least thats how it seemed
Verse 3
Her true love was tall dark and handsome
His hands were gentle, yet they were strong
His eyes were as blue as the ocean
With him she should have belonged
Bridge:
I could only imagine how her life must have been
Living all those years with just memories of him
She must have sat and wondered about the life she could
have had
She must have cried and cried, she must have been so sad
Verse 4:
Day by day she thought about him
She never saw him after she wed
She was committed to her husband
Some things were better left unsaid
Refrain 4:
But as I read on and on
I realized one thing
The man she truly loved
Had given her this ring
Ending:
I read her diary.
