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

That this is all I ask

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

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

And I will stay

Younger than spring
