All the sweet things, I can find
The words she'd written took me by surprise

And as I go through my life
Wouldn't you know it?
I found her diary underneath a tree
She wouldn't show it
All the sweet things she can find
She wouldn't show it
The love she'd waited for
When she confronted with the writing there
And started reading about me
Simply pretended not to care
Her meaning now was clear to see
I passed it off as just in keeping with
They said that she had found

I will wish for her his wife
The words began to stick and tears to flow

The love she'd waited for

Her total disconcerting air

Wouldn't you know it?
Was someone else not me
I will give to her my wife

And though she tried to hide
She wouldn't show it
Wouldn't you know it?
And as I go through my life
The love that she denied
You'd never read them in her eyes
All the sweet things they can find
