Текст песни 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?

May 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?

May 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?
