How Could I Ask For More

(album: Be Held : Lullabies For The Beloved - 2017)

There's nothing like the warmth
Of a summer afternoon
Waking to the sunlight, being cradled by the moon

Catching fireflies at night
Building castles in the sand
Kissing mama's face goodnight
And holding daddy's hand

Thank You Lord
How could I ask for more

Running barefoot through the grass
A little hide and go seek
And being so in love, that you can hardly eat
And dancing in the dark
When there's no one else around
Being bundled 'neath the covers
Watching snow fall to the ground

Thank You Lord
How could I ask for more

So many things I've thought
Would bring me happiness
Some dreams that are realities today
Such an irony the things
That mean the most to me
Are the mem'ries that I made along the way

So if there's anything I've learned
From this journey I am on
Simple truths will keep you going
Simple love will keep you strong
'Cause there are questions without answers
And flames that never die
And heartaches we go through
Are often blessings in disguise

So thank You Lord
Ah thank You Lord
How could I ask for more
