One press of Sing plays this song on this device (1:32) 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
There’s a little white town not far from the
sea, And away from the world, where I fain
would be; Thers’s a little white town That runs
up hill and down, There’s a little white town
in my own countrie. There’s a little white
house, and, if I were free To make my choice,
I would rather be In that haven of rest With
the one I love best Than dwell anywhere else
in the whole counttrie.
There’s a little white gown that is more to me
Than all other gowns in the world coule be;
There’s a little white gown Being sewn in the
town That is dear to my heart in my own
countrie. For when the last stitch has been
sewn, you seem That little white gown will be
worn for me, In that little white town That
runs up hill and down, By the daintiest bride
in the whole countrie.
