Blackboard of My Heart
When I was young and went to school
They taught me how to write
Take the chalk and make the mark
And hope things turned out right
Well, that's the way it is with love
And what you did to me
I wrote it so that you'd know
That I was yours eternally
But my tears have washed "I Love You"
From the blackboard of my heart
But it's too late to clean the slate
And make another start
I'm satisfied the way things are
Although we're far apart
My tears have washed "I Love You"
From the blackboard of my heart
If you'd been true the way you should
And not have gone astray
These tears would not have fallen down
And washed the words away
No use to talk, forget the chalk
That write these words again
It would be for someone else
Not things that might have been
But my tears have washed "I Love You"
From the blackboard of my heart
But it's too late to clean the slate
And make another start
I'm satisfied the way things are
Although we're far apart
My tears have washed "I Love You"
From the blackboard of my heart
They taught me how to write
Take the chalk and make the mark
And hope things turned out right
Well, that's the way it is with love
And what you did to me
I wrote it so that you'd know
That I was yours eternally
But my tears have washed "I Love You"
From the blackboard of my heart
But it's too late to clean the slate
And make another start
I'm satisfied the way things are
Although we're far apart
My tears have washed "I Love You"
From the blackboard of my heart
If you'd been true the way you should
And not have gone astray
These tears would not have fallen down
And washed the words away
No use to talk, forget the chalk
That write these words again
It would be for someone else
Not things that might have been
But my tears have washed "I Love You"
From the blackboard of my heart
But it's too late to clean the slate
And make another start
I'm satisfied the way things are
Although we're far apart
My tears have washed "I Love You"
From the blackboard of my heart
