As You Are

As You Are" is a beautiful, romantic, song that touches people. The kind of love the song tells of is the kind that all people yearn for in their own lives – to be loved as you are, not as others want you to be. Several people have made the observation "This would be the perfect wedding song!" while others have said, "It's the perfect anniversary song!". My duet partner is the very talented Michael Franklin. What a pleasure to have him sing this song with me!- N.

I don’t want to.
Tell you how to live
And I don’t want to take
More than you can give
And I don’t want you to be
Anything but you

I don’t want you to
Change for me
And I don’t want you to
Stop loving me
I don’t want you to be
Anything but you

Chorus:
I just want you to do everything
That you’ve always done
And I want you to try new things
And include me in your fun
And I just, want you
As you are

I don’t want you to
Have to lie
And I don’t want you to
Need to ask why
And I don’t want to live
Without you in my life

I don’t want you
To stop talking to me me
And I don’t want you to
Stop making love to me
I don’t want to live
without you in my life

Chorus:
I just want you to do everything
That you love to do
And I want you to try new things
Like you’ve always wanted to
Oh and I just want you as you are

I don’t want to
Try and be your boss
And I won’t
Deceive you at any cost
And I don’t want to live
Without you by my side

I don’t want you to
Be a different man
And I’m not looking to
Have the upper hand
And I don’t want to
Live without you by my side

Chorus:
I want you to do the things
That sets your spirit free
And I want you to try new things
And come home happy to me
And I just, want you
As are
