Lyrics 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...
