Playing: Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman - All I Ask Of You
- Listening to this song brings my mind to a wedding.
The bride and groom are waltzing in this grand ballroom, within an ancient European castle.
There are chandeliers and candles giving the room a slightly orange tint.
The bride's beauty is highlighted by her white gown. No train but not any less glamourous.
The groom is looking suave in his black tux and leading his new wife onto the dance floor.
All the other dancers take cue from the introduction of the song to exit, and sit by the side to watch.
He holds her by her waist and takes the lead.
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 me be your freedom, let daylight dry your tears,
I’m here, with you, beside you,
To guard you and to guide you
All I ask is 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.
Her palms are firm and trusting on his shoulders, and she follows his steps, never once taking her eyes off his.
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 we need is freedom, a world that’s warm and bright
And you, always beside me,
To hold me and to hide me.
He holds her, thinking how lucky he is to have her to love.
And she looks at him, thinking the exact same thing.
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
That’s all I ask of you
Say the word and I will follow you
Share each day with me each night each morning
Say you feel the way I do
That’s all I ask of you
Anywhere you go let me go too
Love me, that’s all I ask of you
