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....
