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.


[Chorus:]
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.

[Chorus]


You can find a chisel, I can find a stone.
Folks will be reading these words, long after we're gone.


[Chorus]


Oh I love you and I don't want you to go, baby write this down.
