All I Ask of You
Rebecca Caine & Byron Nease 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,
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 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
Christine, 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

Byron (aka Bud) Nease sang at the Saturday night "Happening" services at the First Presbyterian Church in Hollywood during the mid or late 70's I think when our family went there when I was a kid -- he was always a highlight and such a talent.
