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

Then I will stay 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

As long as there's a song to sing

And I will stay younger

I will stay younger

I will stay younger than spring
