Given old Mr. Shakespeare a run for his money
Oh no, too bad

Before I knew it, the words were gone again
Every time you are near
How much time would that have took
I could have written the part to make young lovers crazy
The beautiful song and it starts with your name
All these words you inspire after all these years
Every time that you crossed this heart of mine
There goes the chance that I had
I could have written a play so sweet and so funny
Brand new phrases appear
Yes, I was too busy, being in love
That would never leave a dry eye in the room
My only excuse for not doing enough
The words in years have a way, you're slipping back
Well, I was too busy, being in love
Yes, I was too busy, being in love
If I had taken the time
My only excuse for not doing enough
Well, I was too busy, being in love
I could have written a play so sweet and so funny
Written my way into fortune and fame
I'd put them all in a book
To write down a few lines
Oh no, too bad
Break the mood that I'm in
But I have no regrets for not doing enough
Well, I was too busy, being in love
Given old Mr. Shakespeare, a run for his money
Songwriters: Gary Scott Burr, Victoria Shaw
But I never reached for a pen
There goes the chance that I had
That would never leave a dry eye in the room
I could have written the movie for Hepburn and Tracey
Written the words to the prettiest tune
Yes, I was too busy, being in love
Written the words to the prettiest tune
