Ray Stevens - This Is All I Ask lyrics

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 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 much 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 as long
As there's a song to sing

And I will stay much younger
Yes, I will stay much younger
Oh, I will stay much younger than the spring
