What I Want This To Accomplish

I love music. I love all kinds of music. I love a good melody and I love good lyrics. Here's the thing. Too often I have noticed people getting lost in the melodic side of a song and never listen to the lyrics, the message that the songwriter is trying to share with the listener. Words mean things and there are a lot of songs out there with great lyrics. Here you will find love and hurt, pain and longing, emotions and intimate thoughts from songwriters over the years. There will be no commentary from me on the lyrics. Just the words. The words for you to read, process and ponder and hopefully come away with a little more meaning to a song than just a lovely melody. A more complete understanding of where the artist is coming from. - Bill Clark

YOU ASKED ME TO

Long ago and far away
In my ol' common labor shoes
I turned the world all which a way
Just because you asked me to.

Like unto no other
Feel simple love is simple true
There's no end to what I'd do
Just because you asked me.

Let the world call me a fool
But if things are right with me and you
That's all that matters
And I'll do anything you asked me to.

Knowing how much I love you
And after all that I've been through
I'd turn and walk away from you
Just because you asked me to.
(Lord. I hope you'll never do.)

Let the world call me a fool
But if things are right with me and you
That's all that matters
And I'll do anything you asked me to
