May I? - Bing Crosby

Why does my heart pound like a hammer?

Why do I start to stutter and stammer?

When I’m near the one I adore

The girl I love

If I were sure that I meant anything to her

I’d be brave and here’s the song I’d bring to her

I’d sing to her

May I be the only one to say I

Really fell in love the day I

First set eyes on you?

May I with your very kind permission

Tell you that my one ambition

Is to share a love affair with you?

Here I wait, do give me a chance

Do tell me my fate

What is your answer?

My I hold you to my heart and pray I

Will be there beside you when they groom and bride you

May I hear you say I do?

Oh may I be the only one to say I

Really fell in love the day I

Oh the day I first set eyes on you?

May I with your very kind permission

Could I tell you that my one ambition

Is to share a love affair with you?

Here I wait, do give me a chance

Do tell me my fate

What is your answer?

My I hold you to my heart and pray I

Will be there beside you when they groom and bride you

May I hear you say I do?
