  • Shakespeare writin' on a piece of paper
    Hank Williams singin' on an old guitar
    Both of them tryna find the words
    In somewhere up above the stars
    But I've seen it there in old love letters
    Stuck to the fridge on a post-it note
    Red lipstick on a bathroom mirror
    Or tucked in the pocket of a Cowboys coat

    Written in the sky, written in the sand
    On the back of a car draggin' old tin cans
    True love declared with brush and paint
    Way up there on a small town water tank
    Carved in an oak or tattooed on the skin
    Love moves the heart
    God moves the pen

    Saying, "I miss you daddy" in blue Crayola
    X's and O's in sidewalk chalk
    I've seen "I heart Jenny" on an overpass
    When the tongue is just too tired to talk

    Written in the sky, written in the sand
    On the back of a car draggin' old tin cans
    True love declared with brush and paint
    Way up there on a small town water tank
    Carved in an oak or tattooed on the skin
    Love moves the heart
    God moves the pen

    So write it in the sky, write it in the sand
    On the back of a car draggin' old tin cans
    True love declared with brush and paint
    Way up there on a small town water tank
    Carved in stone or tattooed on the skin
    Love moves the heart
    Love moves the heart
    But God moves the pen Writer/s: James Thomas Slater, Tony Mac Lane
