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.
