Hank Thompson - Blackboard Of My Heart lyrics

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

(Chorus)

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 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

(Chorus
