| I agree completely. All I Ask of You has always bothered me as the title. It's a beautiful melody, and most of the lyrics are very romantic and sweeping: "Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime," etc, etc. But then the kicker is: "That's all I ask of you." Um, what? What exactly does that mean in this context? It comes out of nowhere. Does the singer think they are asking for a lot or a little? It's a weird climax to this love song, and it kind of undermines the prior lyrics. |
