am i asking too much

through a shadowed world

i drift in emptiness and doubt

because i push aside the love

i just can't live without

please won't you give my crying eye

just one more chance to see

that look upon your face

that promised love to me

am i asking too much

or is this love we had

lost beyond recall

am i asking too much

can we start again and rise above it all

kiss my ears with gentle words i need to hear

let your arms reach out and

tell me that you need me dear

'cause if you need me darling

baby

you'll forgive

you'll forgive me says the breath of air

i need to live

am i asking too much

even though i hurt you so

don't say we're through

am i asking too much

won't you let me try

and make it up to you

all the precious hours we've wasted

all the bitter tears we've tasted

i need your love inside of me

make me the girl i used to be

in your heart is there no longer room for me to live

when all i did was take

all you did was give

all the tears i made you cry

turned your heart to stone

has loneliness made up your mind

to live alone

am i asking too much

or is this love we had

lost beyond recall

am i asking too much

can we start again and rise above it all

am i asking too much

won't you let me try

and make it up to you

am i asking too much

even though i hurt you so

don't say were through

am i asking too much

or is this love we had

lost beyond recall
