All I'll Ever Ask
Freddie Jackson · Other Songs - Freddie Jackson
Love means so many different things
But you're all that matters
And this is all I'll ever ask of you
Tell me your dreams, so they can be mine too
Let me be there to help them come true
Tell me your fears, when you feel afraid
Come to my arms let me rock them away
That's all I'll ever ask,
That's all I'll ever ask, That's all I'll ever ask
Of you
Come to my shoulder when you need to weep
Wake me up, when you cannot sleep
Talk to me, when you want to be heard
Be silent with me, when you can't say a word
That's all I'll ever ask, That's all I'll ever ask,
That's all I'll ever ask
Of you
I can't swear you'll never have to cry another tear
But when ever you want someone to hold you
I'm always right here
So just come to me for anything at all
Call my name, it's yours to call
Feel my faith in you when you can't find your own
And always remember you're never alone
That's all I'll ever ask, That's all I'll ever ask,
That's all I'll ever ask
Of you
But you're all that matters
And this is all I'll ever ask of you
Tell me your dreams, so they can be mine too
Let me be there to help them come true
Tell me your fears, when you feel afraid
Come to my arms let me rock them away
That's all I'll ever ask,
That's all I'll ever ask, That's all I'll ever ask
Of you
Come to my shoulder when you need to weep
Wake me up, when you cannot sleep
Talk to me, when you want to be heard
Be silent with me, when you can't say a word
That's all I'll ever ask, That's all I'll ever ask,
That's all I'll ever ask
Of you
I can't swear you'll never have to cry another tear
But when ever you want someone to hold you
I'm always right here
So just come to me for anything at all
Call my name, it's yours to call
Feel my faith in you when you can't find your own
And always remember you're never alone
That's all I'll ever ask, That's all I'll ever ask,
That's all I'll ever ask
Of you
All I'll Ever Ask
Freddie Jackson's "All I'll Ever Ask" stands as a poignant example of his mid-1980s pop balladry, characterized by his distinctive falsetto and emotive delivery. Released during the height of his solo career, the track exemplifies the soft-rock and adult contemporary style that defined his discography. The song captures the vulnerability of romantic longing, a theme central to Jackson's work from the early 1980s through the 1990s. While often associated with his broader catalog of romantic hits, the recording showcases his ability to blend melodic sophistication with raw emotional expression, cementing his status as a leading voice in 1980s soft rock and pop music.
