(All I ask of you)
(All I ask of you)
Yeah, yeah (All I ask of you)
Look in my eyes
There are no tears left to cry
Gone is the hurting inside
Look in my soul
I will bear all that you need to know
Though I'm scared, no, I won't let it show
'Cause I pray this love will never let me go
All I ask of you
Is to promise me that your love will be true
Even though it's such an easy thing to do (Easy thing to do)
Don't break my heart in two
That's all I ask (All I ask of you)
Ooh, you and I must be faithful
Whatever the price
Even though there may be sacrifice
Well our love will surely stand the test of time
All I ask of you
Is to promise me that your love will be true
Even though it's such an easy thing to do (Easy thing to do)
Don't break my heart in two
That's all I ask
High up in the sky
There is a star that shines
Just for you and I
I know it burns so bright tonight
Tonight
Oh (All I ask of you)
All I ask of you is to promise me that (Your love will be true)
Your love will be true even though it's such an easy thing to do (Easy thing to do)

Don't break my heart in two, no
