WHEN I WAS YOUNG
AND WENT TO SCHOOL
THEY TAUGHT ME
HOW TO WRITE
TO TAKE THE CHALK
AND MAKE A MARK
AND HOPE
IT TURNS OUT RIGHT
WELL THAT'S THE WAY
IT IS WITH LOVE
AND WHAT YOU DID TO ME
I WROTE IT
SO YOU'D KNOW THAT I
WAS YOURS ETERNALLY
BUT MY TEARS
HAVE WASHED
I LOVE YOU
FROM THE BLACKBOARD
OF MY HEART
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
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
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 NEED TO TALK
'CAUSE IF THE CHALK
SHOULD WRITE
THOSE WORDS AGAIN
IT WILL BE
FOR SOMEONE ELSE
NOT THINGS
THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
BUT MY TEARS
HAVE WASHED
I LOVE YOU
FROM THE BLACKBOARD
OF MY HEART
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
MY TEARS HAVE WASHED
I LOVE YOU
FROM THE BLACKBOARD
OF MY HEART
