"This Is All I Ask" lyrics

"This Is All I Ask"

I feel I'm in the prime of my life
So I can have the time of my life
Learning to enjoy at my leisure
All the simple pleasures
And so I happily concede
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
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
And I will stay younger than spring

And let the music play
As long as there's a song to sing
And I will stay younger than spring
