All I Ask

All I Ask

I'm just a poor boy
There was nothing I could do
I never had a chance, unlike you
I worked so hard all my days
The money I earnt was spent before I got paid

All I ask when my day is done
Is that I'll be remembered with affection by everyone

Yeah, I made enemies along the road
I've so many stories still to be told
If I've done wrong then please forgive
We never know how long we get to live

I've known love for most of my time
Been through dark tunnels along the line
Been through times that were good and were bad
I've been happy and I've been sad

But all I ask when my day is done
Is that I'll be remembered with affection by everyone

I tried not to hurt anyone
At one time I followed The Son
Never forget we're made of dust
To dust we'll return when we must

I want to live for as long as I can
But the truth is that I'm just a man
I'll accept my fate when the time comes
And my soul will fly up towards the sun

All I ask when my day is done
Is that I'll be remembered with affection by everyone
All I ask when my day is done
Is that I'll be remembered with affection by everyone
All I ask when my day is done
Is that I'll be remembered with affection by everyone
