Yes - 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.
