ALL I ASK OF YOU
filked by Hal


Qui-Gon:

All around is darkness,
A shining light appears. You're here.
Strong arms to hold me. Your soft words to console me.
Warm me with your smile now. Don't let me see your tears.
Embrace me where I'm lying, to ease me as I'm dying.

Obi-Wan:

Master, know that I have killed the Sith Lord.
Used the Force as you've instructed me.
Say you'll live and you'll direct me always.
Promise me we both will leave Naboo.
That's all I ask of you.

Qui-Gon:

Now my day is ending. I cannot conquer fate.
You're strong; none will reproach you.
The council will promote you.

Obi-Wan:

I only want to please you. I will not hesitate.
But without you beside me, to hold me and to guide me...

Qui-Gon:

You'll fulfil for me my tasks, my duties.
Ready to go on without me now.
Heed the prophecy -- the boy is Chosen.
Obi-Wan, there's one thing you must do. Train him.
That's all I ask of you.

Obi-Wan:

Say you'll come to me in shades, in dreaming.
Say I'll feel your presence close to me.
I accept the charge you've laid upon me.
Say you love me.

Qui-Gon:

You know I do.
Train him. That's all I ask of you.

Obi-Wan:

Anywhere I go...

Qui-Gon:

...I'll be there too.

Together:

Train him.
That's all I ask of you.
