Dear Diary, today was a good day
 C          Em
Papa and I picked wild flowers
 C                  Em
Mama joined and we lay in the sunshine
 C                Em
Then we sang and danced for hours
F                        G
I know tomorrow will be even better
C      Cmaj9     Am
So the good Lord I thank
 F                           G
I'll write more later. Love,

Dear Diary, today was a great day
C                  Em
I bought myself a brand new horse
 C                         Em
She?s strong and fast, and so very beautiful
 C                 Em
And just a little wild, of course
F               G
I know tomorrow I can tame her
C    Cmaj9   Am
If I only believe
 F                  G
Wish me luck Diary,

I feel my life is finally whole

I can?t wait to tell my father

To see what he will say
