Lyrics: Charles Hart
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 daylight dry your tears;
I'm here, with you, beside you,
To guard you and to guide you.
Say you 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 life-time;
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 life-time;
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;
The song "All I ask of you" is a duet from the popular musical "The Phantom of the Opera." The song is performed between the singers Christine and Raoul. Raoul wants Christine to forget her fears and allow him to protect and take care of her. The lyrics begin by Raoul promising Christine that he will protect her from darkness and harm. He implores her to allow him to become her freedom and take away her sorrows. Raoul then requests Christine to share her love with him each day and night and asks her to promise that everything she says is true.
As the lyrics progress, Raoul's love for Christine becomes more evident. He requests her to let him be her shelter and guide her to a world with no more darkness. Raoul urges Christine to share her life with him and promises to follow her wherever she goes. He then admits his love for her and asks her to love him in return, emphasizing that loving him is all he asks of her.
The lyrics of "All I ask of you" are a beautiful representation of love, trust, and protection between two individuals who are there for each other during trying times. The song is a splendid portrayal of a man's love for a woman, and his willingness to do anything in his power to protect her.
