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 pleasure

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 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
