Let me love you,

Let me say that I do,

If you’ll lend me your ear,

I’ll make it clear

The way that I do.

Let me whisper it,

Let me sigh it,

Let me sing it, my dear,

Or I will cry it.

Let me love you,

Let me show that I do,

Let me do a million impossible things

So you’ll know that I do.

I’ll buy you the dawn

If you’ll let me love you today,

And if that’s not enough,

I’ll buy you the first of May,

And tomorrow I’ll send you

Merrily on your way.

Bart Howard, “Let Me Love You” (music by Howard)
