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 for 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
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 man where you 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 them everyday
Keep them close by
Don't you let them 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 them everyday
Keep them close by
Don't you let them 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
