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 them every day
Keep them close by
Don't you let them 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 refrigerator 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 them every day
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 every day
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
