If I Ask You

Graeham Goble
1971

If I ask you for a dollar
Will the smile on your face turn to laughter
Or to tears?
And the answer that will follow
It could tell me the things you've been after
Through the years

A-la la lar..., a-la la la la la la la la la la lar......

If I tell you of the trouble you could see in the world
Would you notice all the tears?
Or accept the things the way they are and don't make the change
That could alter what's been for years

I haven't anybody else to see
And anybody else but me
Would not be here with you
You don't know how it feels to be alone
And have no one to call your own
Or stay with you
So if I ask you now to be my friend
Will you help me out, or will you go?

If I ask you for a dollar
Will the smile on your face turn to laughter
Or to tears?
And the answer that will follow
It could tell me the things you've been after
Through the years

I haven't anybody else to see
And anybody else but me
Would not be here with you
You don't know how it feels to be alone
And have no one to call your own
Or stay with you
So if I ask you now to be my friend
Will you help me out, or will you go?
