Everybody learns to write with chalk in their school days
And if he makes a few mistakes the chalk just wipes away
With love it's not so easy when your heart is filled with pain
It takes tears and lonely gears to clean the slate again
But when you wrote you I love you on the blackboard of my heart
You cleaned the slate with love so great and made a brand new start
As long as those three words are there I know we'll never part
Please don't erase I love you from the blackboard of my heart
[ fiddle - steel ]
A heart is like a blackboard and it's there for all to see
When lies are written on it, it ends in misery
The one before you wrote the words but they were only lies
And soon those words were washed away by teardrops from my eyes
But when you wrote you I love you on the blackboard of my heart....
