Not Too Much To Ask

(Mary-Chapin Carpenter/Don Schlitz)

from the album "Come On, Come On"

To hear you say my name, to see you search my eyes

To feel you touch my hand, it more than satisfies.

If I was not the first, just say I'll be the last

It's too much to expect, but it's not too much to ask.

Now I can only dream of being all you need

And I can only try to be the reason why

You think about today and forget about the past

It's too much to expect, but it's not too much to ask.

INSTRUMENTAL

Now I can only dream of being all you need

And I can only try to be the reason why

You think about today 'cause the past is just the past

It's too much to expect, but it doesn't hurt to ask

It's too much to expect, but it's not too much to ask.
