This Is All I Ask
(Gordon Jenkins)
 

As I approach the prime of my life
I find I have the time of my life
Learning to enjoy at my leisure
All simple pleasures
And so I happily concede
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
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
Let the music play
As long as there's a song to sing
And I will stay
Younger than spring

©19?? I'd love to know the answer.
