This Is All I Ask
As I approach the prime of my life
I find I have the time of my life
Learning to enjoy at my leisure
All the simple pleasures
And so I happily concede
That this is all I ask
This is all I need
Beautiful girls,
walk a little slower when you walk by me
Lingering sunsets,
stay a little longer with the lonely sea
Children everywhere,
when you shoot at bad men, shoot at me
Take me to that strange,
enchanted land grown-ups seldom understand
Wandering rainbows,
leave a bit of color for my heart to own
Stars in the sky,
make my wish come true before the night has flown
And let the music play as long as there's a song to sing
And I will stay younger than Spring
I find I have the time of my life
Learning to enjoy at my leisure
All the simple pleasures
And so I happily concede
That this is all I ask
This is all I need
Beautiful girls,
walk a little slower when you walk by me
Lingering sunsets,
stay a little longer with the lonely sea
Children everywhere,
when you shoot at bad men, shoot at me
Take me to that strange,
enchanted land grown-ups seldom understand
Wandering rainbows,
leave a bit of color for my heart to own
Stars in the sky,
make my wish come true before the night has flown
And let the music play as long as there's a song to sing
And I will stay younger than Spring
