I Blotted Your Happy School Days

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 school days

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 school days

She noticed your anguish and pain

She knew it would hurt you to have sympathy

With a heart that was breaking in pain

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 school days

I’ve folded and kept them with care

They’re all put away to be touched no more

To serve a memory so dear

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

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 school days
