Story Behind The Song

It began as a little bedtime lullaby that always seemed to calm her. A few years later I wrote the rest of the chorus and verses.

Song Description

Any father, I'm sure, will understand the meaning of the expression when it comes to his own daughter. Emma is now 6 years old and it is not any easier now to say no to her than it was when she was 2.

Lyrics

I Can't Say No To You

I can't say no to you
I will do anything you want me to do
You've spoiled me through and through
Gave me everything I've ever wanted is in you
I can't say no to you

And my friends say I don't know what I want anymore
But I love anything you want and adore
Everything I've given up is half as much as what's in store
How can I say no to you

You know you're beautiful eyes like liquid chocolate pools
You know you're Beautiful and bold
You know you're beautiful mommy's face and daddy's curls
Your love is better than diamonds and gold

That's why I can't say no to you

I can't resist all your little girl charms
When faced with that little smile all wrapped up in your arms
It's better to give in
There're so many reasons where do I begin
I can't say no to you

You know you're beautiful eyes like liquid chocolate pools
You know you're Beautiful and bold
You know you're beautiful mommy's face and daddy's curls
Your love is better than diamonds and gold

I would stay with you 'til the stars turn out their lights
I will watch you sleep through every blessed night
If you want to know what true love's really like
When in the morning you will see me smile
Yeah Daddy's gonna sit and talk with you awhile

I can't say no to you
I'll do anything you want me to do
If you asked for a piece of bread
Would I turn and give you stones to eat instead?

You know you're beautiful eyes like liquid chocolate pools
You know you're Beautiful and bold
You know you're beautiful mommy's face and daddy's curls
Your love is better than diamonds and gold
That's why I can't say no to you
Yeah, I still can't say no to you
After hello I can't say no
