When I entered that school room
That morning in May
I noticed you over the way
And then with your pen, dear
You painfully wrote
You blotted my happy schooldays
I blotted your happy schooldays
I'm sorry I caused you this pain
I'll ask God to forgive me
And to guide me always
For I blotted your happy schooldays
The teacher was watching
With a wondering eye
She noticed your anguish and pain
She knew it would hurt you
To have sympathy
With a heart that was breaking in pain
I blotted your happy schooldays
I'm sorry I caused you this pain
I'll ask God to forgive me
And to guide me always
For I blotted your happy schooldays
I have all the notes
That you wrote to me
I've folded and kept them with care
They're all put away
To be touched no more
To save as a memory so dear
When I passed by your coffin
To take my last look
I placed my last kiss on your brow
I know you're in heaven
With friends that are dear
And I know that I'll meet you up there
For I blotted your happy schooldays
I'm sorry I caused you this pain
But I'll ask God to forgive me
And to guide me always
For I blotted your happy schooldays
