May I?
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I just came in off the street
Looking for somewhere to eat
I find a small cafe
I see a girl and then I say
'May I sit and stare at you for a while?
I'd like the company of your smile'
You don't have to say a thing
You're the song without the sing
The sunlight in your hair
You look so good just sitting there
'May I sit and stare at you for a while?
I'd like the company of your smile'
