This Is All I Ask

This Is All I Ask

Gordon Jenkins

[Verse 1]
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
This is all I need

[Verse 2]
Beautiful girls, walk a little slower when you walk by me
Lingering sunsets, stay a little longer with the lonely sea

[Bridge]
Children everywhere, when you shoot at bad men, shoot at me
Take me to that strange enchanted land
Grown-ups sеldom understand

[Verse 3]
Wandering rainbows, leavе 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
The seasons seem much longer
Then I will stay younger than spring
