All I Ask of You
POSTED AT 12:11 PM in That's what you call Music, Big screen ravings

I watched the Phantom of the Opera (again) last Saturday. I’ve seen it about four times already but I love watching it again. It’s actually my most favorite musical.

It never fails to give me the chill even after seeing it for many times, especially the part wherein “The Phantom” had witnessed Christine and Raoul singing All I Ask of You together. His heart was broken over and over and I can almost feel his pain which turn into anger. Tsk! Love!

Going back to the song, All I Ask of You is a real beautiful song – both the melody and the lyrics. Yeah, it’s one of my favorites and I’m still wondering how it feels to have someone who only asks for your love and nothing more, someone who vows to protect you from all harm and give you all you wanted and yet all he asks of you is for you to love him. Sigh….

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 . . .

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 . . .

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 I want is freedom,
a world with no more night . . .
and you always beside me
to hold me and to hide me . . .

Then say you'll share with me one
love, one lifetime . . .
Iet me lead you from your solitude . . .

Say you need me with you
here, beside you . . .
anywhere you go, let me go too -
Baby, that's all I ask
of you . . .

Say you'll share with me one
love, one lifetime . . . say the word
and I will follow you . . .

Share each day with me, each
night, each morning . . .

Say you love me . . .

You know I do . . .

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 . .

 

Feeling: in love
