Yes Songtext

von Anthony David

Say "Yes."
Life keeps happening every day,
Say "Yes."
When possibilities come your way,
You can't start wondering what to say
You never win if you never play --
Say "Yes."
There's mink and marigold right outside
And long white Cadillacs you can ride
But nothing's gained when there's nothing tried --
Say "Yes."
Don't say "Why,"
Say "Why not?"
What lies beyond what is,
Is not.
So what?
Say "Yes."
Yes, I can, yes, I will,
Yes, I'll take a sip, yes, I'll touch.
Yes, of course, yes, why not,
Yes, I'll happily, thank you very much,
Yes.
Come on, say yes.

There's lots of chaff but there's lots of wheat,
Say "Yes."
You might get mugged as you walk the street
But on the other hand you might greet
That handsome stranger you've longed to meet,
Say "Yes."
Don't say "Why,"
Say "Why not?"
What lies beyond what is,
Is not.
So what?
Say "Yes."
Yes, I'll walk, yes, I'll look,
Yes, I'd love to do such and such.
Yes, I'll fly,
Yes, I'll dare,
Yes, I'll try,
Yes, I'll care,
Yes, I'll happily, thank you very much,
Yes.
Oh, yes.

You can't look back on a chance that's lost,
Say "Yes."
The dice mean nothing unless they're tossed,
The throw is usually worth the cost,
The hope of summer denies the frost,
Say "Yes."
Yes, I am,
Yes, I'll be,
Yes, I'll go,
Oh,
Yes.
