how could i ask for more

there's nothin' like the warmth

of a summer afternoon

waking to the sunlight

being cradled by the moon

catching fireflies at night

building castles in the sand

kissin' mama's face goodnight

and holdin' daddy's hand

thank you lord

how could i ask for more

runnin' barefoot through the grass

a little hide and go seek

and bein' so in love

that you can hardly eat

and dancin' in the dark

when there's no one else around

bein' bundled 'neath the covers

watchin' snow fall to the ground

thank you lord

how could i ask for more

so many things i've thought

would bring me happiness

some dreams that are realities today

such an irony the things

that mean the most to me

are the mem'ries that i made along the way

so if there's anything i've learned

from this journey i am on

simple truths will keep you goin'

simple love will keep you strong

'cause there are questions without answers

and flames that never die

and heartaches we go through

are often blessings in disguise

so thank you lord

ah thank you lord

how could i ask for more
