lyrics

Ask

You ask if I love you
I say ‘count the ways’
And I’ll love and caress you
And hold you for the rest of my days

You ask for a promise
I say ‘cross my heart’
And nothing and no-one
Can ever do something to tear us apart

You ask me a question
I say ‘there’s no doubt’
And the fire that burns
Like a furnace within me will never go out

Comrades in body
Comrades in soul
Comrades in body
There to console
The bittersweet tears
Of Autumn years
When fate takes its toll
But the sands of time
Are yours and mine
If fate takes its toll

You ask for an answer
I say ‘it is true’
And there’s no power on Earth
Or the stars or the heavens to tear me from you

You ask me the value
I say ‘beyond cost’
And as long as there’s love
Then tomorrow’s forever, to never be lost

You ask of the future
I say ‘there’s no end’
And our love’s like a flower
In the garden of life, I always will tend.

Comrades in body
Comrades in soul
Comrades in body
There to console
The bittersweet tears
Of Autumn years
When fate takes its toll
But the sands of time
Are yours and mine
If fate takes its toll
