Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Blackboard of my Heart 
When I was young and went to school they taught me how to write To take the chalk and make my mark and hope it turned 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 your's eternally 
Chorus... 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 My tears would not have fallen down and washed the words away No need to talk for if the chalk should write these words again It would be for someone else not things that might have been 
Chorus...
