Lyrics | Too Much To Ask
Can you remember the way it used to be?
Rest stops and break down lanes and rain,
Were all we would need
To call it a day
We didn't much to say
To explain it away
They're opening doors for me all over town
But it's just too bad that I won't be around
Now plain Jane send me flowers or a post card
I won't turn you down again
You say it ain't warm enough
But man I'm just burning up
I'm going down with the dust
Is it too much to ask, of you?
And am I moving too fast?
Did I come back too soon?
Is it too much to ask, of you?
Now sometimes just being alive is enough
The money don't matter to me
Just send me your love
I'm leaving as the crow flies
I'm coming
We don't even need to talk
About anything
We can just let it ring
There's so much I could bring
Is it too much to ask, of you?
Am I moving too fast?
Did I come back too soon?
Is it too much to ask, of you?
“Too Much To Ask” appears on Anytime Tomorrow (2000)
