Write This Down

I never saw the end in sight; fools are kind of blind.

Thought everything was going alright, but I was running out of time.

'Cause you had one foot out the door, I swear I didn't see

But if you're really going away, here's some final words from me.

Baby, write this down, take a little note to remind you in case you didn't know,

Tell yourself I love you and I don't want you to go, write this down.

Take my words, read 'em every day, keep 'em close by, don't you let 'em fade away,

So you'll remember what I forgot to say, write this down.

I'll sign it at the bottom of the page, I'll swear under oath

'Cause every single word is true, and I think you need to know,

So use it as a bookmark, stick it on your 'frigerator door,

Hang it in a picture frame up above the mantel where you'll see it for sure.

Baby, write this down, take a little note to remind you in case you didn't know,

Tell yourself I love you and I don't want you to go, write this down.

Take my words, read 'em every day, keep 'em close by, don't you let 'em fade away,

So you'll remember what I forgot to say, write this down.

You can find a chisel, I can find a stone.

Folks will be reading these words, long after we're gone.

Baby, write this down, take a little note to remind you in case you didn't know,

Tell yourself I love you and I don't want you to go, write this down.

Take my words, read 'em every day, keep 'em close by, don't you let 'em fade away,

So you'll remember what I forgot to say, write this down.

Oh I love you and I don't want you to go, baby write this down.
