This Is All I Ask

Tiny Tim · God Bless Tiny Tim [1968]

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 conceive, this is all I ask

This is all I need



Beautiful girls, walk a little slower when you pass 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

Grown-ups seldom understand

Wandering rainbows leave a bit of color for my heart, to see

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, I will stay younger

I will stay younger than Spring
