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.
