Lyrics
Not Too Much To Ask
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
To hear you say my name, to see you search my eyes
To feel you touch my hand, it more than satisfies
If I was not the first, just say I'll be the last
It's too much to expect, but it's not too much to ask
Now I can only dream of being all you need
And I can only try to be the reason why
You think about today and forget about the past
It's too much to expect, but it doesn't hurt to ask
It's too much to expect, but it's not too much to ask
Now I can only dream of being all you need
And I can only try to be the reason why
You think about today, 'cause the past is just the past
It's too much to expect, but it doesn't hurt to ask
It's too much to expect, but it's not too much to ask
