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 pleasures

And so, I happily concede

This is all I ask

And 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

Grown-ups 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

Younger than Spring

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)

And let the music play

As long as there is

A song to sing

And I will stay younger

Than Spring
