All I Ask of You
Josh Groban Kelly Clarkson Lyrics
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

This woman can sing ANYTHING! Still THE best American Idol of all time!
@siomhe8539
Kelly could sing the yellow pages when yellow pages were a thing and I'd pay to hear it! If she did it as a duet with Josh Groban I'd sell tickets and expect a good return.
@kaytee8738
Agreed!
@tm1830
Agree 100%
@Suzyb7806
I didn’t realize she could sing that high. That was magnificent.
@shetaz905
She studied opera for a bit!
@kimberlyjfurey4699
when Kelly sang "Natural Woman" in the Idol competition, she hit the high G on the work 'alive'.
@katydidmccarthy1278
What a beautiful duet. Kelly hit those high notes so perfectly. She has shown so much talent. Josh is always amazing. Perfect match for this duet.
@lemusiciensolitaire8792
Josh Groban's voice is simply perfect for this song.
