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 a-way,
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 an' 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.
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 an' 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.
You can find a chisel,
I can find a stone.
Folks'll 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 an' 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.
Oh, I love you and I don't want you to go,
Baby, Write This Down!
