Am I Asking Too Much

(Richards/R. Dean Taylor)



Through a shadowed world



I drift in emptiness and doubt



Because I push aside the love



I just can't live without



Please won't you give my crying eye



Just one more chance to see



That look upon your face



That promised love to me



Am I asking too much



Or is this love we had



Lost beyond recall



Am I asking too much



Can we start again and rise above it all



Kiss my ears with gentle words I need to hear



(Baby I love you)



Let your arms reach out and



Tell me that you need me dear



(Baby I need you)



'Cause if you need me darling



Baby, you'll forgive



(Forgive me dear)



You'll forgive me says the breath of air



I need to live



Am I asking too much



Even though I hurt you so



Don't say we're through



Am I asking too much



Won't you let me try



And make it up to you



All the precious hours we've wasted



All the bitter tears we've tasted



I need your love inside of me



Make me the girl I used to be



In your heart is there no longer room for me to live



When all I did was take, all you did was give



All the tears I made you cry



Turned your heart to stone



Has loneliness made up your mind



To live alone



Am I asking too much



Or is this love we had



Lost beyond recall



Am I asking too much



Can we start again and rise above it all



Am I asking too much



Won't you let me try



And make it up to you



Am I asking too much



Even though I hurt you so



Don't say were through



Am I asking too much



Or is this love we had



Lost beyond recall
