I’d Better Write It Down Vern Gosdin

I stayed up all day*
Just to watch the sun go down
These days I never know
How much longer I’ll be around
But when I go at least she’ll know
I saw all she wanted me to see
If I can leave that on paper
I'll be so proud of me
Sometimes what we say is gone
As soon as it's said
But if your eyes can read feelings, I'm leavin'
Then I'll never be dead
Today I saw the open door
I know will surely set me free
If I can go through it with a smile
I'll be so proud of me
If I'm gonna leave somethin' behind
I'd better write it down
'Cause I know to capture all that I can
While I’m still around
'Cause I'd know the written word
Won’t follow me into the ground
So if I'm gonna leave somethin' behind
I’d better write it down
If I'm gonna leave somethin' behind
I’d better write it down
