Ask Me

Ask me to marry you every single day,
Ask my Father in heaven to give me away,
Ask for the whole field, not just the hay,
Ask for the night; ask for the day.

Ask for the years to pass slowly as they may,
Ask for the light to bend toward you its ray.
Ask dear time to give you just one more day,
Ask for guidance; ask for the way.

Ask for the sea to cover you with spray,
Ask a wild horse to echo when he brays,
Ask the stars to share what God does say,
Ask the sun to burn; ask the moon to pray.

Ask my wild heart to never, ever stray,
Ask my soul to bend in every little way,
Ask me anything you would like to say,
Ask me to marry you; ask me to stay.
