This is another Nina Simone song
So says Jeff Buckley when he was at a concert at L'Olympia. Before belting out his version of a Nina Simone classic That's All I Ask.
Don't try to blow out the sun for me, baby
I'm not hoping for what I know can't be
All that I ask, is for a kiss each day
And I'll give you love that will never go away
Yes I will.
'Cause girl I wouldn't ask you to lift up this great big world little baby
I know that your not that kind of a girl
All that I ask, is for a kiss or two
And nothing in this world will be too good for you
Nobody knows, how deep my love for you really goes
Nevermind now with your heart how much you say
'Cause girl, I want you to know
I wouldn't ask you to hold back the light of dawn baby
That's just a little too much to ask of anyone
All that I ask, is for your loving ways
And I'll keep you happy for the rest of your natural born days
Nevermind now with your heart how much you say
I'm not hoping for what I know can't be
All that I ask, is for a kiss each day
And I'll give you love that will never go away
Yes I will.
'Cause girl I wouldn't ask you to lift up this great big world little baby
I know that your not that kind of a girl
All that I ask, is for a kiss or two
And nothing in this world will be too good for you
Nobody knows, how deep my love for you really goes
Nevermind now with your heart how much you say
'Cause girl, I want you to know
I wouldn't ask you to hold back the light of dawn baby
That's just a little too much to ask of anyone
All that I ask, is for your loving ways
And I'll keep you happy for the rest of your natural born days
Nevermind now with your heart how much you say
Nina and I share the same birthday. Just 46 years apart.
