From The Teacher To The Preacher - Gene Chandler, Barbara Acklin

I used to carry your books

And you gave me such a sweet look

Oh, the feeling inside

The feeling I could not hide

And we went from the teacher

Straight to the preacher

We went from the teacher

Straight to the preacher together

We tied hearts together

We tied hearts

Whenever we make a date

Sweetheart, I just couldn’t wait

Oh, the happy misery

And you are gonna be with me

And we went from the teacher

Straight to the preacher

We went from the teacher

Straight to the preacher together

We tied hearts together

We tied hearts

Each day, I write you a note

Saying, darling, I love you so

Those were the happy days

And I love you the same old way

Cause we went from the teacher

Straight to the preacher

We went from the teacher

Straight to the preacher together

We tied hearts together

We tied hearts

We went from the teacher

Straight to the preacher

We went from the teacher

Straight to the preacher together
