"All I'll Ever Ask" Joshua Kadison

Love means so many different things,
but you're all that matters,
and this is all I'll ever ask of you.

Tell me your dreams, so they can be mine too,
Let me be there, to help them come true.
Tell me your fears, when you feel afraid,
Come to my arms, let me rock them away.

That's all I'll ever ask,
That's all I'll ever ask,
That's all I'll ever ask,
Of you.

Come to my shoulder, when you need to weep,
Wake me up, when you cannot sleep.
Talk to me, when you want to be heard,
Be silent with me, when you can't say a word.

That's all I'll ever ask,
That's all I'll ever ask,
That's all I'll ever ask,
Of you.

I can't swear, that you'll never have to cry another tear.
But whenever you want someone to hold you,
I'm always right here.

So just come to me, for anything at all,
Call my name, it's yours to call.
Feel my faith in you, when you can't find your own,
And always remember, you're never alone.

That's all I'll ever ask,
That's all I'll ever ask,
That's all I'll ever ask,
Of you.

I can't swear you'll never have to cry another tear.
But whenever you want someone to hold you,
Remember, I'm always right here.

That's all I'll ever ask,
That's all I'll ever ask,
That's all I'll ever ask,
Of you.

A friend told me about this song years ago. It was a B-side song of a more popular Joshua Kadison single. And from the first time I heard it, I absolutely loved it. It is such a beautiful love song, and it can bring tears to my eyes. It's too bad this song isn't more readily available, though I believe it is on a CD of Kadison's called Premium Gold Collection which may be possible to get through Amazon.
