Verse

E G#

If I may, and if I might,

C# F#

Lie me down weeping.

E G#

And if I say what it's like,

C# F#

I might be dreaming.

E G#

And if I may and what is right,

C# F#

Summertime this evening.

If I may and if I might,

Wake me up and see me.

I may have deceived me.

Wish me good and wish me light,
