Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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'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.
