Burl Ives lyrics : "This Is All I Ask"

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
And 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


And I will stay younger
Younger than Spring


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)

And let the music play
As long as there is
A song to sing


And I will stay younger
Than Spring
