美国乡村音乐:Write This Down- George Strait

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 rally 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 everday

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

Repeat Chorus:

You can find a chisel¹, I can find a stone

Folks will be reading these words, Long after we′re gone

Oh I love you and I don′t want you to go

Baby write this down
