Why Not

Music and Lyrics by Jeff Camp
© 2015 Jeff Camp Music

-Verse 1
While ye may, are ye gathering rosebuds?
Roll my way - let’s gather no moss
What do you say, now I’ve proposed it?
Do you have think about it…

-Chorus
Why?   Not?   Why not?
Didn’t you see this coming?
Why wait, delay and only think about it, when we could
Mmm, love, love, love, love! Why not?

-Verse 2
Every day ticking by on the timeclock
Will you stay, or am I so wrong?
I see your face, the lifted eyebrow
I'm not gonna waste a minute!

-Chorus
Why?   Not?   Why not?
Didn’t you see this coming?
Why wait, delay and only think about it, when we could
Love, love, love, love! Why not?

-Bridge
What the hell is holding you back?
What makes you want to wait?
This is real and it’s passing us by
Why not seize today?

-Final Chorus and outro
Why? Not? Why not?
Didn’t you see this coming?
Why wait, delay and only think about it, when we could
Love, love, love, love!
Carpe diem!
