"Yes to Heaven" (also known as "Say Yes to Heaven") is an unreleased song by Lana Del Rey. It was produced by Rick Nowels and is registered on APRA AMCOS and PPL Repertoire.[1][2]
Background
The song was recorded during November 2013 in the same sessions as "I Can Fly", "Fine China", "Shades of Cool", "Sad Girl", "Is This Happiness" and "Your Girl", and potentially considered to be included on Ultraviolence. However, the track was cut due to a change in the album's sonical direction, after it was reworked with Dan Auerbach.
Three snippets of two different versions of the song leaked on August 15, 2016, and a full but edited version of the song leaked on December 24, 2016. The full unedited second version was leaked on January 28, 2017, and the other version remains unleaked. The original file is called "Yes To Heaven rough old keys". On February 12, 2018, an alternate version of the song with different production leaked online through Music Mafia.
This song was originally on Honeymoon tracklist. An alternative version of this song was produced by Dan Auerbach which remais unleaked[3].

Lyrics
If you dance, I'll dance
And if you don't, I'll dance anyway
Give peace a chance
Let the fear you have fall away
I've got my eye on you
I've got my eye on you
Say yes to heaven
Say yes to me
Say yes to heaven
Say yes to me
If you go, I'll stay
You come back, I'll be right here
Like a barge at sea
In the storm I stay clear
'Cause I've got my mind on you
I've got my mind on you
Say yes to heaven
Say yes to me
Say yes to heaven
Say yes to me
If you dance, I'll dance
I'll put my red dress on again
And if you fight, I'll fight
It doesn't matter now, it's all gone
I've got my mind on you
I got my mind on you
Say yes to heaven
Say yes to me
Say yes to heaven
Say yes to me
I've got my eye on you
I've got my eye on you
I've got my eye on you
I've got my eye on you
