Intro
pause after each chord except for G#m):
Verse 1
I can still remember yesterday,
we were so in love in a special way.
And knowing that you loved me made me feel
oh so right.
But now I feel lost don't know what to do.
Each and every day I think of you.
Holdin' back the tears I'm trying with
all my might.
Refrain
Because you've gone and left me standing all alone.
And I know I've got to face tomorrow on my own.
But baby,
Chorus
Before I let you go, I want to say I love you.
I hope that you're listening cause it's true, baby
You'll be forever in my heart, and I know that
no one else will do.
So before I let you go, I want to say it...
I love you.
Verse 2
I wish that it could be just like before,
I know I could've given you so much more.
Even though you know I'd given you all my love.
I miss your smile, I miss your kiss.
Each and every day I reminisce.
Cause baby it's you that I'm always dreaming of...
(repeat Refrain)
Chorus 2
Before I let you go, I want to say I love you.
I hope that you're listening cause it's true, baby
You'll be forever in my heart, and I know that
no one else will do.
So before I let you go, I want to say it...
Bridge
Cause letting love go is never easy.
But I love you so, that's why I set you free...
yeahyeah. And I know, someday, somehow, I'll find a way
to leave it all behind me. Guess it wasn't meant to be,
(use the tab part)
but baby...
Chorus 3
Before I let you go, I want to say I love you.
I hope that you're listening cause it's true, baby
You'll be forever in my heart, and I know that
no one else will do.
So before I let you go, I want to say it.
