Christiaan, no, no, no, oh Christiaan, no
Take the time, take the time to take it slow
You'll be leavin' soon enough to make the teardrops flow
Christiaan, no
You will grow, grow, grow, Christiaan, grow
You will glow like the moonlight on the snow
You will fly like the snowflakes when the wind begins to blow
But take it slow
Take it slow
And don't listen when the people put you on
And don't cry over someone who is gone
And I will carry you until you carry on
Carry on, son, carry on
'Cause it's hard to know what you wanna be
When you're just a little boy who's turnin' three
But you're just a little boy who's only turnin' twenty-nine
Take yo' time
Take your time
Christiaan, yes, yes, yes, yes, oh Christiaan, yes
You can prevent the world from bein' repossessed
I must confess that we've left it in a sorry mess
But you might save it if you try to do your very best
Christiaan, yes
Christiaan
Yes
Christiaan, No was written by Jimmy Webb.
Christiaan, No was produced by George Martin.
