Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 I held you first in a hospital room Your mama cried, said “he’s just like you” I blinked once and you’re standin’ tall Tryin’ on boots that feel too small You’re talkin’ ‘bout a girl these days The way she laughs, the way she prays I see that fire behind your eyes Same one I had back in my time Pre-Chorus Son, love ain’t easy, but it’s worth the fight It’s long days, hard roads, and holdin’ on tight Chorus So don’t tell her no when she wants to dance Even if you’re tired, take that chance Don’t miss a moment thinkin’ there’s time It slips right through like a dollar in a dime Say “I love you” more than you think you should Kiss her in the kitchen like a young man would ‘Cause one day you’ll wake up, wonder where it all goes Life moves fast, son… don’t tell her no Verse 2 There’ll be bills and babies and sleepless nights Front porch talks under yellow lights You’ll mess up, yeah, you’re gonna fall But she’ll still be there through it all Take her hand when the world feels heavy Say “I’m sorry” more than you’re ready And when she smiles through all that pain You’ll thank the Lord for her again Pre-Chorus Time don’t slow down just ‘cause you ask It’s here, then it’s gone like a photograph Chorus So don’t tell her no when she wants to dance Even if you’re tired, take that chance Don’t miss a moment thinkin’ there’s time It slips right through like a dollar in a dime Say “I love you” more than you think you should Kiss her in the kitchen like a young man would ‘Cause one day you’ll wake up, wonder where it all goes Life moves fast, son… don’t tell her no Bridge I was you once, standin’ right here Full of big dreams and a little bit of fear Now I’m watchin’ you walk down that road And I’d give anything just to go back slow Final Chorus So don’t tell her no when she wants to dance Hold her close every single chance Don’t wait around thinkin’ love will stay It’s here one minute, then it fades away Say “I love you” every chance you get Make every moment one you won’t forget ‘Cause one day you’ll blink, and it’s just old photos Life moves fast, son… don’t tell her no Outro So take it from me, as far as I know… The best kind of love… you never tell no.
