May (Acoustic)

I would like to love you, if you’d only let me in
I could see us so much more than friends
I would like to know you if you’d share a little space
Usually I’m trapped outside your solitary ways

If I, If I, If I May
If I, If I, If I May

I would like to tell you if you’d let me get that close
I could whisper what I’d love the most
I would like to show you, if you’d kindly take the time
You provide the poetry, and I will make it rhyme

If I, If I, If I May
If I, If I, If I May

At the close of the day
As you turn and go your way
Know that I would like to love you, if I May.

Gone the winter, come the spring,
Who knows what the day will bring?
I hope you hear me when I say,
That I would like to love you anyway.

If I, If I, If I May
If I, If I, If I May

At the close of the day
As you turn and walk away
Know that I would like to love you, if I May.
At the close of the day
As you turn and go your way
Know that I would like to love you, if I May.
… I would love to love you if I May.

If I, If I, If I May
If I, If I, If I May
If I, If I, If I May
