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
