ASKING FOR YOU

from 1960 Broadway musical "Do-Re-Me"
(Jule Styne (m) Adolph Green (l) Betty Comden (l) )

as recorded by June Christy
February 1961 Los Angeles


I'm not asking for a dance,
I'm not asking for romance.
>From this moment, sending flowers,
These stolen hours just won't do!

I'm not looking for a fling,
That's for children drunk with Spring.
What I ask for is love for ever,
Yes love for ever, all life through;
I'm just asking for you!

I'm not looking for a fling,
That's for children drunk with Spring.
What I ask for is love for ever,
Yes for ever, all life through;
I'm just asking for you,
I'm just asking for you,
I'm just asking for you!
