Ask Me Now Lyrics - Solo Monk - Thelonious Monk

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 blasé 

How I wish you'd ask me now 

I was vain and bind 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 then I'd always be 

Footloose and fancy 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 laws allow 

You asked me could I care 

My attention was elsewhere 

How I wish you'd ask me now
