Nat “King” Cole
This is All I Ask
[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 seldom understand

[Verse 3]
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

[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
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
