I could have written the movie for Hepburn and Tracey
Given old Mr. Shakespeare a run for his money

Written my way into fortune and fame
The words in years have a way, you're slipping back
I could have written a play so sweet and so funny
Written the words to the prettiest tune

I could have written the part to make young lovers crazy
To write down a few lines
Yes, I was too busy, being in love
Given old Mr. Shakespeare, a run for his money
But I have no regrets for not doing enough
Oh no, too bad
How much time would that have took
Written the words to the prettiest tune
Before I knew it, the words were gone again
The beautiful song and it starts with your name
Songwriters: Gary Scott Burr, Victoria Shaw

Yes, I was too busy, being in love
Break the mood that I'm in
I could have written a play so sweet and so funny
My only excuse for not doing enough
All these words you inspire after all these years
Yes, I was too busy, being in love
There goes the chance that I had
