36.This Is All I Ask

Lyrics:Gordon Jenkins
Music:Gordon Jenkins
Arranger: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 the simple pleasures
And so I happily concede
That 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
And let the music play as long as there's a song to sing
Then I will stay younger than Spring
