Sides face grand square
When I was young and I went to school they taught me how to write
To take the chalk and make a mark and hope it turns out right
Allemande left and weave
Well that's the way it is with love and what you did to me
Promenade
I wrote it so you'd know that I was yours eternally

The Heads (Sides) you square thru 4 hands from where you are
And with the Sides (Heads) make a right hand star
The Heads (Sides) star left and roll it one time you do
And to the same two a right & left thru
Swing Thru here, and let the boy run right
You do a half tag, swing and promenade
I wrote it so you'd know that I was yours eternally

Sides face grand square
But my tears have washed I love you from the blackboard of my heart
It's too late to clean the slate and make another start
Allemande left and weave
Well that's the way it is with love and what you did to me
Promenade
I wrote it so you'd know that I was yours eternally

Sides face grand square
But my tears have washed I love you from the blackboard of my heart
It's too late to clean the slate and make another start
Allemande left and weave
I'm satisfied the way things are although we're far apart
Promenade
My tears have washed I love you from the blackboard of my heart
