Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Say you'll love me every waking moment
Turn my head with talk of summer time
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 love, 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
That's all I ask of you
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you
Share 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.
Anywhere you go, let me go too
Love me, that's all I ask of you
"All I Ask Of You" is a duet sung by Josh Groban and Kelly Clarkson that appears on Groban's album "Stages," which was released in 2015. The song originally comes from the 1986 musical "The Phantom of the Opera" by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The song is sung by the character Raoul as he reassures the female lead, Christine, that he will protect her from the Phantom's threat. The song conveys Raoul's deep love and desire to be with Christine forever.
The song begins with Raoul trying to assure Christine that he will protect her from any harm and that she need not fear the darkness. He then promises to be her freedom, her guide and guard, and to help her overcome any fear. In the next verse Raoul assures Christine that he will be her shelter and light, and protect her from everything. Later in the song, Raoul pleads with Christine to share her life with him and promises to follow her wherever she goes. He asks her to promise to love him every waking moment and to make a commitment to him to always stay true. The song ends with Raoul asking her to love him, and promising that all he asks of her is just that.

My wife passed away a year ago this past June and when she was in the hospital trying to recover from a stroke, this version was the song we would sing to each other. It was always our favorite from "The Phanton of the Opera."

I have been there and done that! I was the one who endured the stroke and emerged having to rethink my life and what’s next. Including teaching myself to walk again. It was music like this that kept me sane! I lost my wife years ago… suddenly…. I would have given up much to have her in my hospital room! May she RIP.

His voice is just golden! He would definitely be a great Phantom!
