Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
My little third grade hand wrote I love you On a note of yellow paper And sent it to the front of the row to a little blonde-haired girl The blonde-haired girl just opened it and read it to herself I was so embarrassed when she turned around and said I'm already taken You spoke up too late I love somebody else So you'll just have to wait The years flew by so quickly And there we were in junior high I realized that I still loved her so So I called her up and told her exactly how I felt Then she said there's something that you really ought to know I'm already taken You spoke up too late I love somebody else So you'll just have to wait So wait I did and never changed my love for that little blonde-haired girl Who's' now the mother of our little blonde-haired boy Who's to our hearts so close I hate to think how fast he's growing up Last night I overheard them as she tucked him into bed He said, Mommy will you marry me And this is what she said I'm already taken You spoke up too late I love your daddy son So you'll just have to wait I'm already taken You spoke up too late I love your daddy son So you'll just have to wait
