May I Have This Dance Lyrics
In the ground, we bury
The seeds of a pear tree
All the things, we carried
Now we're down to our bare feet
[Chorus]
May I have this dance?
To make it up to you
Can I say something crazy?
I love you
Give me both your hands
To make it up to you
Let me spin and excite you
[Verse 2]
We are bound to inherit
(Ooooooooooooh)
The sins of our parents
(Ooooooooooooh)
And all of the people we passed through
(Ooooooooooooh)
Now we're down to the last two
[Chorus]
May I have this dance?
To make it up to you
Can I say something crazy?
I love you
Give me both your hands
To make it up to you
Let me spin and excite you
To make it up to you
Dance
To make it up to you
Ooooooooooooh
[Chorus]
May I have this dance?
To make it up to you
(Can I say something crazy?)
Can I say something crazy?
I love you
Give me one more chance
Give me one more chance
|To make it up to you|
Give me one more
Let me spin and excite you
[Outro]
To make it up to you
Never gonna stay
Can I say something crazy?
I love you
Give me one more chance
Give me one more chance
|To make it up to you|
Give me one more
Let me spin and excite you

Taylor Bennett, an up-and-coming rapper and Chance The Rapper’s brother, said that this is his favorite song off Farewell, Starlite
I was scheduled to do a session with Benny Blanco, and so I was walking uptown on 7th Avenue to the session. I was cycling through in my head this lyric, “Give me one more chance / Give me one more chance / Give me one more.” And then I worked out the chords on his piano once I arrived. I was like, Benny, it’s like, “Give me one more chance.” I was really dramatic about it.
He was like, “Yeah, it’s all right, man. It’s cool.” And then he started doing his thing with the music and kind of left me in the other room, and I knew that wasn’t quite it yet. So I was like, “Give me one more chance.” Then I was like, “Give me all your pants. Give me one more stand. May I have this dance?” And he’s like, “That’s good!”
It came from there. Everything came into place after that.
