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,
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,
grownups 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 than spring
