Yes It Is

Lyrics

If you wear red tonight

Remember what I said tonight

For red is the colour that my baby wore

and what's more it's true

Yes it is

Scarlet were clothes she wore

Everybody know I'm sure

I would remember all the things we planned

understand it's true

Yes it is, it's true

Yes it is

I could be happy with you by my side

If I could forget her, but it's my pride

Yes it is, yes it is, Oh, yes it is, yeh

Please don't wear red tonight

This is what I said tonight

For red is the colour that will make me blue

in spite of you it's true

Yes it is, it's true

Yes it is

I could be happy with you by my side

If I could forget her, but it's my pride

Yes it is, yes it is, Oh, yes it is, yeh

Please don't wear red tonight

This is what I said tonight

For red is the colour that will make me blue

in spite of you it's true

Yes it is, it's true

Yes it is, it's true
