I WROTE IT IN RED
TONY BROWER/BMI
UNCLE FUNK MUSIC/ASCAP

I WAS BESIDE YOU THE DAY YOU WERE BORN
BREATHED MY BREATH INTO YOU BROUGHT LIFE TO YOUR FORM
I ROCKED YOU AT NIGHTTIME WOKE YOU WITH A KISS
SENT ANGELS TO WATCH YOU LIKE ALL OF MY KIDS
BUT WHEN IT CAME TIME TO SAY THAT I LOVE YOU
I HAD TO MAKE CERTAIN YOU KNEW...

CHORUS
SO I WROTE IT IN RED ETCHED IT IN STONE
LEFT NO ROOM FOR DOUBT WHEN I MADE YOU MY OWN
SENT MY SON TO DIE ALONE IN YOUR STEAD
WHEN I TOLD YOU I LOVED YOU
I WROTE IT IN RED

I REMEMBER YOUR FIRST LOVE THE DAY YOU BOTH MET
I CRIED WHEN YOUR HEART BROKE DRIED THE TEARS THAT YOU SHED
I SAW WHEN YOU STUMBLED WATCHED YOU TRY AGAIN
I FORGOT YOUR BAD CHOICES FORGAVE ALL YOUR SINS
BUT WHEN I HEARD YOU CRY OUT "DON’T YOU LOVE ME?
IS THERE EVEN A GOD UP ABOVE ME?"

FOR TWO THOUSAND YEARS IT’S BEEN WRITTEN ABOVE
WITH THE BLOOD OF MY SON IN THE COLOR OF LOVE...
