Write This Down Lyrics
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.
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.
'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.
Folks will be reading these words, long after we're gone.

No comments on this one? Wow and it's such a great song. It's one of the ones that remind us why is the "King of Country." Sometimes I forget it's a breakup song where the guy does not want her to forget he still loves her. Kinda sad, but definitley a great one nonetheless.
This is one of favorites. He's telling her that even tho' I am a man and I never show or explain anything to you(whats worse he's a cowboy)about my feelings and that I care for you,write this down so you'll know cos then I never have to show it or be bothered to. LOL :)
