Søong book --> (circa 1999)

This is a scan of my first known lyrics sheet, circa 1999. I found it in a grade 2 cahier while I was moving last week. "Søong book" was 1 of about 5 entries in that notebook. I would have been 7 or 8 y/o, and just learning how to write.

Before finding these lyrics, I was under the impression that the first song I'd written had been at age 15, titled "Alice in Wonderland." Preceding that age by ~8 years, this "Søong book" scan is now the oldest piece of evidence I have pointing towards my propensity for songwriting.

My favourite line is the final one: "When you sing along with me I fill with joy and that is what it's all about --> The end! :D"

Haven't changed much !!

The grammatically correct version:

Song Book // Song Book

It's time to sing my jolly friend who's very nice.
I've gone to many places before without you.
I see you once every day my old friend.
I like it when you sing along with me.
V2 -->
I see you in the morning at starbucks.
I know what you want all the time: coffee.
I like you the most because you are so nice to me.
You are my best friend.
But I know you like dinosaurs.
You're my best bud though.
V3 -->
You seem to be so nice to me all of the time.
People think you are the best.
When you sing along with me I fill with joy and that is what it's all about
--> The end! :D
