All I Ask Of You

many moons ago (sometime apr 1998).. EM gave me my very first CD (*gasp*.. i never own a CD before! not even the ciplak (pirated) kind.. where have i been living??!? in no money land.. heh.. let's just say, i think it's a very waste of money to buy CDs.. but the truth is also i really dun hv extra money.. even if i hv some to spare, the last thing i will buy is a CD!).. anyway, the CD was by Andrew Lloyd Webber.. and he dedicated this song to me.. i was in NTU on a student exchange programme (between USM and NTU).. and he's trying to woo me.. *blush*.. to be honest, i was quite scared at that time.. being my first time.. and being such a short time that i've known him.. moreover i have another one whole year to go thru in USM.. very sceptical abt long distance r'ship.. but i guess we survived?..

and since i never own a CD, i actually hv to borrow my roommate's CD player to play to listen.. and it was the very first time i heard of this song.. and it really touched me then.. more like swept my breath away.. sigh.. i'm so easy to please.. eh?!

[Male voice] (Raoul)
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

[Female voice] (Christine)
Say you love me 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

[Raoul]
Let me be your shelter
Let me be your light
You’re safe, no one will find you
Your fears are far behind you

[Christine]
All I want is freedom
A world with no more night
And you, always beside me
To hold me and to hide me

[Raoul]
Then 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
Christine, that's all I ask of you

[Christine]
Say you’ll share with me one love, one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you

[Both]
Share each day with me, each night, each morning

[Christine]
Say you love me

[Raoul]
You know I do

[Both]
Love me, that's all I ask of you
…
Anywhere you go, let me go too
Love me, that's all I ask of you
