I never saw the end in sight fools are kind of blind

Thought everything was going alright but I was running out of time

Because 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 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 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 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
