I'm Already Taken [*]

My little third grade hand wrote, ''I love you.''
On a note of yellow paper,
And sent it to the front of the room
To a little blonde-haired girl.
The blonde-haired girl just opened it,
And read it to herself
I was so embarrassed
When she turned around and said,
''I'm already taken
You spoke up to late
I love somebody else,
So you'll just have to wait.''
The years flew by so quickly
And there we were in junior high
I realized that I still loved her so
So I called her up and told her
Exactly how I felt.
Then she said, ''There's something
That you really ought to know.''
''I'm already taken
You spoke up to late
I love somebody else,
So you'll just have to wait.''
So wait I did,
And never changed my love
For that little blonde-haired girl
Who's now the mother of
Our little blonde-haired boy
Who's to our hearts so close
I hate to think how fast he's growing up.
Last night I overheard them
As she tucked him into bed
He said, ''Mommy, will you marry me?''
And this is what she said.
''I'm already taken
You spoke up to late
I love your daddy, son,
So you'll just have to wait.''
''I'm already taken
You spoke up to late
I love your daddy, son,
So you'll just have to wait.''...
