Lyrics for 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 leasure All the simple pleasure And so I happily concede This is all I ask This is all I need Beautiful girl, walk a little slower when you walk by me Lingering sunset, 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 Grownups 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 Then I will stay younger than spring
