I never saw the end in site,
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 to let you go...
Write this down...
Take my words, read 'em everyday...
Keep 'em close by...don't 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 mantle
Where you can 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 to let you go...
Write this down...
Take my words, read 'em everyday...
Keep 'em close by...don't 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 are 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 to let you go...
Write this down...
Take my words, read 'em everyday...
Keep 'em close by...don't 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...
