He Asked Me

He asked me to be there

I couldn’t say no

He asked for my love

I couldn’t say no

---

He told me it was only

One of those things

You read about in novels

The loveless life

The broken hearts

And the longing for an old flame

---

He asked me to be there

I couldn’t say no

He asked for my love

I couldn’t say no

---

We once were lovers

And now dear friends

But the lines would blur

That early September morning

When he felt lost

And I took a risk

---

He asked me to be there

I couldn’t say no

He asked for my love

I couldn’t say no

---

Sharing a moment

That will forever be

Held in my heart

Like a fantasy

One day

One chance

---

He asked me to be there

I didn’t say no

He asked for my love

I didn’t say no

Because I love him

(I love him so)

(I love him)
