Wednesday words - All I Ask of You

We have two weddings in consecutive weekends this month. The lovely Jess & Glen last weekend followed by the lovely Jess & Dan this weekend.

Whenever I go to a wedding I always reminisce about our wedding, mine and Hubby's. I think what we would do differently, what we would keep the same and what great ideas we could have picked up from the wedding we are attending.

One of the things I wouldn't change, and there are many including the groom (he is a keeper), is the song I walked down the aisle too. It was All I Ask of You from Phantom of the Opera.

Just in case you don't want to read the lyrics, you can view the movie version...



The lyrics are:

No more talk

of darkness,

Forget these

wide-eyed fears.

I'm here,

nothing can harm you -

my words will

warm and calm you.

Let me be

your freedom,

let daylight

dry -your tears.

I'm here,

with you, beside you,

to guard you

and to guide you . . .

Say you love me

every

waking moment,

turn my head

with talk of summertime . . .

Say you need me

with you,

now and always . . .

promise me that all

you say is true -

that's all I ask

of you . . .

Let me be

your shelter,

let me

be your light.

You're safe:

No-one will find you

your fears are

far behind you . . .

All I want

is freedom,

a world with

no more night . . .

and you

always beside me

to hold me

and to hide me . . .

Then say you'll share with

me one

love, one lifetime . . .

Iet me lead you

from your solitude . . .

Say you need me

with you

here, beside you . . .

anywhere you go,

let me go too -

Christine,

that's all I ask

of you . . .

Say you'll share with

me one

love, one lifetime . . .

say the word

and I will follow you . . .

Share each day with

me, each

night, each morning . . .

Say you love me . . .

You know I do . . .

Love me -

that's all I ask

of you . . .

Anywhere you go

let me go too . . .

Love me -

that's all I ask

of you . .

While I completely love the whole song, my favourite line is - Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime. To me marriage is about sharing one love, one lifetime and this is exactly what I intend to do with Hubby.

I love that whenever I hear this song it reminds me of my wonderful husband and the day we were married. It is great how music can do, it transports you to another time and place - a lot like words from books, songs, movies, quotes. They trigger memories that make us smile or laugh and sometimes perhaps cry.

And now that I have been totally reminiscing, these are our other wedding songs (that I also still totally love, in fact Cover You in Kisses is my ring tone).

The song we danced to at our wedding was Cover You in Kisses by Vassy K.


The song we left the wedding to was Time to Say Goodbye by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman.
