Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Here is my song for the asking

Ask me and I will play

So sweetly, I'll make you smile

[Verse 2]

This is my tune for the taking

Take it, don't turn away

I've been waiting all my life

[Bridge]

Thinking it over, I've been sad

Thinking it over, I'd be more than glad

[Verse 3]

To change my ways for the asking

Ask me and I will play

All the love that I hold inside
