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.
