This is NOT all I ask or need, but....

With apologies to Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett.

"Since I have passed the prime of my life
I find I have the time of my life
Learning to enjoy at my leisure
All the simple pleasure
And so I happily concede

This is all I ask
This is all I need.

Beautiful girls, walk a little slower when you walk by me
Lingering sunsets say a little longer with the lonely seas
Children everywhere, when you shoot at bad men, shoot at me.
Take me to that strange enchanted land,
Grownups seldom understand.

Wandering rainbows, leave a bit of color for my heart to own
Stars in the sky, make my wish come true
before the night has flown
And let the music play as long as there's a song to sing
Then I will stay younger than spring.
