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.
