Another perfect song - very clever, concise words, but doesn't mention 'love', as it doesn't need to...

Not Too Much To Ask
(Mary Chapin Carpenter)

To hear you say my name, to see you search my eyes
To feel you touch my hand, it more than satisfies.
If I was not the first, just say I'll be the last
It's too much to expect, but it's not too much to ask.

Now I can only dream of being all you need
And I can only try to be the reason why
You think about today and forget about the past
It's too much to expect, but it's not too much to ask.

Now I can only dream of being all you need
And I can only try to be the reason why
You think about today 'cause the past is just the past
It's too much to expect, but it doesn't hurt to ask

It's too much to expect, but it's not too much to ask.
