When it's written in ink
It's hard to erase
When it's written in ink
It's in front of your face
It can't be graceful soft or kind
It can't speak slowly to your mind
It's written to you
And it's written to me
It's in black or blue
red, purple or green
It's harsh and it's cold
It won't fade away
It's young and it's old
It will always stay
When it's written in ink
in a note, in a book
when it's written in ink
for anyone to look
When it's written in ink
then it's over and done
When it's written in ink
the copys only one
When it's written in ink
And it's signed too
Then it's written to me
And I know it's from you
