(Don Schlitz/Billy Livsey)
|
|
Down the middle of the page I drew a line
|
At the top I wrote my name, the date, the time
|
And sitting like a schoolgirl at my desk
|
I decided it was time to take the test
|
|
On the left I wrote the reasons I should leave
|
The differences that we had forseen
|
By the time I got it all off my chest
|
It looked like we were sure to fail the test
|
|
I wrote down every fault, I wrote down every fight
|
Every hurtful word we ever said in spite
|
To tear our world apart, I did my best
|
It almost broke my heart to take the test
|
|
I wrote down every fault, I wrote down every fight
|
Every hurtful word we ever said in spite
|
|
Then on the right I wrote the reasons why
|
I should stay with you until I die
|
I only wrote one word, no more, no less
|
I knew I was finished with the test
|
|
The word I wrote was love, and I confess
|
That's the only way to pass the test
|
