Too Busy Being In Love Lyrics - Doug Stone

If I had taken the time 

To write down a few lines 

Every time that you crossed this heart of mine 

I'd put them all in a book 

How much time would that have took 

The words in years have a way, you're slipping back 

Oh no, too bad 

There goes the chance that I had 

I could have written a play so sweet and so funny 

Given old Mr. Shakespeare, a run for his money 

Written the words to the prettiest tune 

That would never leave a dry eye in the room 

My only excuse for not doing enough 

Well, I was too busy, being in love 

Yes, I was too busy, being in love 

Brand new phrases appear 

Every time you are near 

All these words you inspire after all these years 

But I never reached for a pen 

Break the mood that I'm in 

Before I knew it, the words were gone again 

Oh no, too bad 

There goes the chance that I had 

I could have written a play so sweet and so funny 

Given old Mr. Shakespeare a run for his money 

Written the words to the prettiest tune 

That would never leave a dry eye in the room 

My only excuse for not doing enough 

Well, I was too busy, being in love 

Yes, I was too busy, being in love 

I could have written the part to make young lovers crazy 

I could have written the movie for Hepburn and Tracey 

The beautiful song and it starts with your name 

Written my way into fortune and fame 

But I have no regrets for not doing enough 

Well, I was too busy, being in love 

Yes, I was too busy, being in love
