Tell
Tell Arizona not to be so hot
Tell all the dogs not to bark
Tell the birds to stop singing
But don’t tell me to get you out of my heart.
Tell “Friends” not to be funny
Tell the ocean not to be so blue
Tell the stars not to come out at night
But don’t tell me to lose my love for you.
Tell country singers to stop singing
Tell the rainbows to lose their hue
Tell the earth to stop spinning
But don’t tell my heart to stop beating for you.
Don’t tell me to give up on us
Don’t tell me to stop loving you
Don’t tell me we have no future
This is impossible for me to do.
