Lyrics
I NEVER ASKED FOR THAT
You gave me love, you gave me certainty
Your tender ways made my days long for the night
You gave me the strength to be all that I could be
In my darkest hours you were the light
One night you slipped away while I lay sleeping
Love Heaven gave me taken back
I can't remember everything I've asked for in my life
But I Know I never asked for that
It was understood we would be forever
Together we could wish the world away
I must confess I gave no thought at all
To any price for loving you that I might pay
One night you slipped away while I lay sleeping
Love Heaven gave me taken back
I can't remember everything I've asked for in this life
But I know I never asked for that
Did I ask too much of you
Whenever I reached out I found your hand
If I fell, you were there to pick me up
And hold me in your arms till I could stand
That night you slipped away while I lay sleeping
When the Angels came to take you back
I tried to remember all I've asked for in my life
I know I never asked for that
Oh I know I never asked for that
