One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:00) and stops after the last: the piano and the words come from the score, so a key change or a slower tempo changes no sound file.
The microphone is asked for only when you press its button. What it hears is measured and scored on this device and never leaves it; nothing is kept unless you record and save the file yourself. What is kept, and where.
The words
Since thou, o fondest and truest,
Hast loved me best and longest, And now with
trust the strongest the joy of my heart
renewest;
Since thou art dearer and dearer,
While other hearts grow colder,
And ever, as love is older, more lovingly
drawest nearer.
Since now I see in the measure of all my giving
and taking, Thou wert my hand in the making,
the sense and soul of my pleasure;
The good I have ne’er
repaid thee In heav’n I pray be recorded,
And all thy love rewarded By God,
thy master that made thee.
