Don’t Tell Her No

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.
