If
I had taken the time
To write down a few lines
Every time that you crossed
this heart of mine
'd put them all in a book
How much time would that have took
The words an' years have
a way of slipping back
Oh no! Too bad,
there goes the chance that I had
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
Yes I was too busy being in love
Brand new phrases appear
every time you are near
All these words you inspire
after all these years
But I never reached for a pen
Break the mood that I'm in
Before I knew it the words
were gone again
Oh no! Too bad,
there goes the chance that I had
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
I was too busy being in love
Yes I was too busy being in love
I could have written the part
to make young lovers crazy
I could have written the movie
for Hepburn and Tracey
The beautiful song and it starts
with your name
Written my way into fortune and fame
But I have no regrets for not
doing enough
well I was too busy being in love
Yes I was too busy being
