“A Thousand Times, Yes!”

~

By Rowan Finley Published about a year ago 1 min read
Violin cover of “All I Ask of You” from The Phantom of the Opera

“All I ask of you is,

do you love me?

All I ask of you is,

am I your hero?

All I ask of you is,

do you wish to be with me?

All I ask of you is,

do I cause you to smile?

All I ask of you is,

will you dwell with me forever?”

The candle answered, saying,

“Yes, yes, yes, a thousand times, yes!”

    "Let me be your freedom, let daylight dry your tears; I'm here, with you, beside you, to guard you and to guide you" Beautiful song... 😊✨
