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
