If I May Ask
Let me be the one who shares with you a strong love,
Let me be the one to help in times
That are tough.
Let me be the one, darling,
To make you happy,
And if I may ask,
Let me be the one for only your eyes to see.
Let me comfort you in times of grief,
Let me show you this loving person
Inside of me.
Let me be the one, darling,
That you hold,
And if I may ask,
Let me be the one to open the story still untold.
