  • What I'll give you since you asked
    Is all my time together;
    Take the rugged sunny days,
    The warm and Rocky weather,
    Take the roads that I have walked along,
    Looking for tomorrow's time,
    Peace of mind.

    As my life spills into yours,
    Changing with the hours
    Filling up the world with time,
    Turning time to flowers,
    I can show you all the songs
    That I never sang to one man before.

    We have seen a million stones lying by the water.
    You have climbed the hills with me
    To the mountain shelter,
    Taken off the days one by one,
    Setting them to breathe in the sun.

    Take the lilies and the lace
    From the days if childhood,
    All the willow winding paths
    Leading up and outward,
    This is what I give,
    This is what I ask you for;
    Nothing more. Writer/s: JIMMY WEBB

  • Pam from CaCharles,
    same for me. I listened to it again last night and wanted to know the lyrics. It’s so beautiful and sounded like something Dan could have written.
    To discover it was Judy’s first, is amazing!
  • Charles from Charlotte I was introduced to this song by the late great Dan Fogelbergs version on Twin Sons of Different Mother’s. If that was Judy’s first written song well she hit a homerun!
