Lyrics

Open up your heart
Say the things you want to say
Maybe a delicate subject
But say it anyway

Say it very soon
When you take your tea and toast
Don't leave the house without saying
Whose toast you love the most

'Cause there's some
Who wished they had said it
At the cemetery gates
Don't be the one to heave a sigh
Say it now, don't wait!

(Go on say it)
Say it now
(Go on say it now)

Say it anywhere
Even on a crowded train
The eight thirty one to Euston
Won't be the same again

Say it to the ones
Who brush your collar everyday
And stick around in December
As they did in May

'Cause there's some
Who wished they had said it
At the cemetery gates
But we'll never make that mistake

Let's say it anyplace
Let's say it face to face
Say it for goodness sake
...Now
