[Verse 1]
Dear diary, what a day it's been
Dear diary, it's been just like a dream
Woke up too late, wasn't where I should have been
For goodness' sake what's 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 don't notice there's people like me
[Refrain]
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary
[Bridge]
They don't know what they're playing
No, they've 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]
It's over, will tomorrow be the same?
I know that they're really not to blame
If they weren't so blind then surely they'd see
There's 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
Didn't really see anything I liked
So I didn't buy anything
On the way home, I posted a letter
Been quite a nice day
Somebody exploded an H-bomb today
But it wasn't anybody I knew
Dear Diary was written by Ray Thomas.
Dear Diary was produced by Tony Clarke.
