Blackboard Of My Heart Lyrics - Singles - Hank Thompson

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 

If you'd been true the way you should and not have gone astray 

These tears would not have fallen down and washed those words away 

No need to talk, for 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
