All I Ask of You
Evancho Jackie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No more talk of darkness, forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can harm you, my words will warm and calm you
Let me be your freedom, let daylight dry your tears
I'm here, with you, beside you, to guard you and to guide you

Say you'll love me every waking moment
Turn my head with talk of summertime
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you

Let me be your shelter, let me be your light
You're safe, no one will find you, your fears are far behind you
All I want is freedom, a world with no more night
And you always beside me, to hold me and to hide me

Then, say you'll share with me one life, one lifetime
Let me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me with you here beside you
Anywhere you go let me go too
Love me, that's all I ask of you

Stay each day with me, each night, each morning




Say you love me, you know I do
Love me, that's all I ask of you

As an AESTHETE, I have been following this teenage singing SENSATION Jackie Evancho, for a few years now, after she was revealed to the world in AGT. And everywhere I go, and in every video, she has received so many accolades, so much so that it is hard to add to a comment that has not yet been said.

So I will take a niche, and COMPLIMENT Jackie for always wearing clothes over the years, that have CONSISTENTLY BEEN ELEGANT and SUPER TASTEFUL.

This only affirms that Miss Evancho is such an all-around lover of beauty, and shares this love with the rest of the world.

From her effortless and FLAWLESS singing, her natural facial beauty, to her sartorial proclivities, Jacqueline Evancho has always treated her audiences with EXQUISITE AESTHETIC EXPERIENCES. For all these and more, I thank you, dearest Jackie.

God bless you more. But please remain the wonderful and humble person that you have always been. God bless us all.

The most impressive thing about this performance is how mature she sounds compared to how tiny and young she looks!
