Ask Me Now (07-23-51)
Once you said you loved me
Placed no one above me
Prayed for me to make that vow
What dumb thing did I say
So busy being blasé
How I wish you’d ask me now
I was vain and bind then
Prone to be unkind then
Wish they’d turn back time somehow
Then I was audacious
I ignored what was precious
How I wish you’d ask me now
I thought then I’d always be
Footloose and fancy free
How could I have been so blind
What I once made light of turned out to be true lve
