Long ago and far away
In my ol' common labor shoes
I turned the world all which a way
Just because you asked me to

Like unto no other
Feel simple love is simple true
There's no end to what I'd do
Just because you asked me

[Chorus]
Let the world call me a fool
But if things are right with me and you
That's all that matters
And I'll do anything you asked me to

Knowing how much I love you
And after all that I've been through
I'd turn and walk away from you
Just because you asked me to
(Lord, I hope you'll never do)

[Chorus]
