Ask Me Now

Once you said you loved me,
Placed no one above me,
Prayed for me to make that vow.
What dumb thing did I say,
So busy being blasse,
How I wish you’d ask me now.

I was vain and wise then,
Prone to be unkind then,
Wish they’d turn back time somehow.
Then I was audacious,
I ignored what was precious,
How I wish you’d ask me now.

I thought I would always be,
So footloose and fancy and free,
How could I have been so blind,
What I once made light of,
Turned out to be true love.

Once my ego ruled me,
Flattered me and fooled me,
More times than the law allows.
You asked me Could I Care?
My attention was elsewhere,
How I wish you’d ask me now.
