"All I Ask", from Adele's new album '25'

This song really hits me to the core. Such a heart-wrenching, emotion-filled ballad that makes you want to just sit around the corner and sing to your heart's content over and over again. The sadness is overwhelming in every note, but as Adele perfectly said in one of her interviews, "There's joy in sadness." Yes, there is, Adele. The sadness in your music is joy to a broken heart; it's a comfort to a lonely soul. Thank you for that.

"ALL I ASK"


I will leave my heart at the door
I won't say a word...
They've all been said before, you know
So why don't we just play pretend
Like we're not scared of what is coming next or scared of having nothing left!

Look, don't get me wrong
I know there is no tomorrow
All I ask is...

If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
'Cause what if I never love again?


I don't need your honesty
It's already in your eyes and I'm sure my eyes, they speak for me
No one knows me like you do
And since you're the only one that matters
Tell me who do I run to?

Look, don't get me wrong!
I know there is no tomorrow
All I ask is

If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
Cause what if I never love again?

Let this be our lesson in love
Let this be the way we remember us
I don't wanna be cruel or vicious
And I ain't asking for forgiveness
All I ask is...

If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends

'Cause what if I never love again?

This time last year....

This time last year
        I was home
This time last year
        I was in your arms
        We were together
This time last year
        We shared a sweet kiss
        For all the months we were apart
        For all the things we missed.

This time last year
        Was pure happiness
        Because I was home
        Because you were my home
This time last year
        I hoped it wouldn't end
        I hoped ours wouldn't end.

But this time last year...
       seems like a thousand years ago.
I'm not home
       and you're no longer mine.

So was it just last year
      when I was in your arms?
Was it just last year
      when we shared that kiss?

Yes, it was just last year. This time last year.
