Introduction

Full view

Some songs don’t just play in the background of our lives; they become the soundtrack to our most cherished moments. “I Could Not Ask for More” is one of those rare gems—pure, heartfelt, and overflowing with gratitude. Whether it’s the sweet embrace of a new romance, the comfort of a lifelong love, or even a moment of quiet reflection where you realize just how lucky you are, this song captures that feeling effortlessly.

Written by the legendary Diane Warren, the song first found life in Edwin McCain’s 1999 version, melting hearts with its raw, passionate delivery. Not long after, Sara Evans gave it her own signature touch, turning it into a country anthem of devotion. Both versions shine in their own way, but at their core, they share the same soul—a love so deep, so fulfilling, that nothing else in the world could compare.

What makes this song so special? It’s the sincerity woven into every lyric. No grand declarations or over-the-top promises—just a simple, beautiful truth: “These are the moments I thank God that I’m alive.” It’s about appreciating love in its purest form, not for what it could be, but for exactly what it is.

Maybe that’s why “I Could Not Ask for More” has stood the test of time. It’s been played at weddings, whispered in quiet moments between lovers, and even served as a reminder to cherish the here and now. It’s not just a love song—it’s a lesson in gratitude, wrapped in melody.

So, if you ever need a reminder of how beautiful love can be, just close your eyes and listen. Because sometimes, the greatest love stories aren’t about longing for more, but about knowing that what you have is already everything

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lyin’ here with you
Listening to the rain
Smilin’ just to see
The smile upon your face

[Chorus]
These are the moments I thank God that I’m alive
These are the moments I’ll remember all my life
I’ve found all I’ve waited for
And I could not ask for more

[Verse 2]
Lookin’ in your eyes
Seein’ all I need
Everything you are
Is everything in me

[Chorus]
These are the moments I know Heaven must exist
These are the moments I know all I need is this
I’ve found all I’ve waited for, yeah
And I could not ask for more

[Bridge]
I could not ask for more than this time together
Could not ask for more than this time with you
Every prayer has been answered
Every dream I’ve had’s come true
Yeah, right here in this moment
Is right where I’m meant to be
Here with you, here with me, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
These are the moments I thank God that I’m alive
These are the moments I’ll remember all my life
I’ve found all I’ve waited for, yeah
And I could not ask for more

[Bridge]
I could not ask for more than this time together
Could not ask for more than this time with you
Every prayer has been answered
Every dream I’ve had’s come true
Yeah, right here in this moment
Is right where I’m meant to be
Oh, here with you, here with me

[Outro]
No, I could not ask for more than this love you gave me
‘Cause it’s all I’ve waited for
And I could not ask for more
No, yeah, yeah
No, I could not ask for more
Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
