If I had taken the time To write down a few lines Every time that you crossed this heart of mine I'd put them all in a book How much time would that have took The words 'n 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 Tracy 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 in love
