Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"God bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me

Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me

Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be

So never leave me lonely
Tell me you'll love me only
And then you'll always
Let it be me

Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be

So never leave me lonely
Tell me you'll love me only




And then you'll always
Let it be me"

Overall Meaning

In Elvis Presley's song Let It Be Me, we are presented with a declaration of love and devotion. The singer is expressing his deep feelings for someone and asking them to stay with him always. He invokes the idea of fate or divine intervention, referring to the day he found his beloved as a blessed one. The singer pleads for his love interest to let him be the one for them, not to take the opportunity of being with him as heaven from someone else. He offers himself as a constant presence, asking not to be left lonely and for reassurance that he is the one they will love.


The song is carried by its strong yet tender melody, with the lyrics capturing the essence of a love that is complete and all-consuming. The theme of letting it be is also woven throughout the song, suggesting an acceptance of the natural order of things and a surrender to the power of love. The repeated lines highlight the importance of the singer being the one his love interest wants and needs, the only one who can complete them.
