This Is All I Ask (with Norman Simmons)

This Is All I Ask - Carmen McRae

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

So spoking well

Seapk all leave softer

When you seapk to 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 and I will stay younger

And I will stay younger

Than Spring
