This Is All I Ask Songtext
von Billy Eckstine

As I approach the prime of my life
I find I′ve had the time of my life
Learning to enjoy at my leisure
All the simple pleasures
And so I happily can say

This is all I ask
This is all I need

Beautiful girls
Walk a little slower
When you walk by me

Lingering sunset
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 rainbow
Leave a bit of colour
For my heart too

Stars in the sky
Make my wish come true
Before the night has flown

Let the music play as long
As there's a song to sing

Then I′ll stay younger
The seasons seem much longer
Then I'll stay younger
Than spring
