Written in Stone

(Don Schlitz - Mac McAnally)



I'm gonna take you down to the riverside

Where the water runs slow and wide

There's a big ole rock out in the middle

And I took my hammer and chisel

And worked all night so you could see

Just how much you mean to me

I carved your name right next to mine

And it'll be there 'til the end of time

And my love will last at least that long.



It's written in stone how I feel for you

It's written in stone what I want to do

Spend my life and life hereafter lovin' you

And darlin' if we live to be a hundred

Or if we don't make it half that long

I want you to know what I feel for you

Is written in stone.



There's a place on the edge of town

When I was a kid I found

Two names on a stone together

Lying side by side forever

And it was then and there I knew

If I ever thought a love was true

I'd surely want to write it down

On somethin' that would be around

When all the spoken words have come and gone.



It's written in stone how I feel for you

It's written in stone what I want to do

Spend my life and life hereafter lovin' you

And darling if we live to be a hundred

Or if we don't make it half that long

I want you to know what I feel for you

Is written in stone.



And when this life has come and gone

Our love will still be

Written in stone how I feel for you

Written in stone what I want to do

Spend my life and life hereafter lovin' you

And darling if we live to be a hundred

Or if we don't make it half that long

I want you to know what I feel for you

Is written in stone.



I want you to know what I feel for you

Is written in stone

Is written in stone

Is written in stone...
