Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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, 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, 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 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 '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.
