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 'em everyday   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 this 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      An' take my words and read 'em everyday   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 and read 'em everyday   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
