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 till 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 loving you

And darling if we live to be 100

Or if we don't make it half that long

I want you to know how 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 something 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 loving you

And darling if we live to be 100

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 loving you

And darling if we live to be 100

Or if we don't make it half that long

I want you to know how I feel for you

Is written in stone
