And put them all in an old book
How much of muck that I took
The words and years has a way of slipping by.

Written the words to the prettiest tune
That would never leave that triangular moon
My only excuse for I do amen
I was too busy being in love.
And put them all in a book
How much time would that have took?
The words in use have a way of slipping back

I could have written a play so sweet and so funny
Given old Mr. Shakespeare a run for his money
Written the words to the prettiest tune
That would never leave a dry eye in the room
My only excuse for not doing enough
Well, I was too busy being in love.
