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 and read 'em everyday

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 this 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 and read 'em everyday

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 and read 'em everyday

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
