Lyrics: Jeff Buckley. That's All I Ask.

(h.ott)
Originally performed by nina simone. jeff often performed it live.
Nobody nobody nobody nobody knows
How deep my love for you really goes

Don't try to blow out the sun for me
I'm not hopin' for what I know can't be
All that I ask is for a smile or two
Nothing in this world could be too good for you

I wouldn't ask you to lift up this great big world
Yes I know you're not that kind of a girl
All I ask is for a kiss each day

I'll give you love that can never blow away

Yes I will

Nobody nobody nobody nobody knows
How deep my love for you really goes
And I want you to know
I wouldn't ask you to hold back the light of dawn

That's just a little too much to ask of anyone
