One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:33) 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
Sleep, weary heart, May nothing more torment
thee. Sleep and for– get the burden of the

A vision of the happiness and love that fled
May come to thee Towards the dawn of morning
Chasing away the darkness, fear and dread.
The sacred fires of love shall flash a– broad,
Scatt’ring the darkness of the night,
Flaming to eastward where the morning Dawns
in a flood of light, Dawns in a golden flood,
a golden flood of light.
