YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK
WORDS & MUSIC: Earl P. Reinhalter
I. you wonder are you welcome
in the night to wake me.
and you say my name softly
like a question you were saving.
how can I answer maybe?
how could I say perhaps?
will I ever say I'm sleepy?
CHORUS: you don't have to ask.
you don't have to ask.
II. sometimes I make you worry,
will I leave you someday
because sometimes I need you
when you need some space?
but when I look toward you
like a flower to the sun,
could I ever turn and run?
/// REPEAT CHORUS ///
BRIDGE: if I can give you something,
anything at all,
including days of freedom
when you need to be alone...
/// REPEAT CHORUS ///
III. will one outlive the other?
will fate tear us apart?
are we together this day,
tomorrow lonely hearts?
and will the outside world destroy us
with looks and verbal hail?
and will our love prevail?
/// REPEAT CHORUS ///
