Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
I find complete love
Without your sweet, sweet love
What would life be?
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me
Now and forever
Let it be me

I bless the day I found you
I am grateful for the day that I met you
I want to stay around you
I desire to be close to you
And so I beg you, let it be me
I plead for you to choose me
Don't take this heaven from one
Do not take away this happiness from someone
If you must cling to someone
If you need to hold onto someone
Now and forever, let it be me
Choose me now and always
Each time we meet love
Whenever we come together lovingly
I find complete love
I feel complete love
Without your sweet, sweet love
If I didn't have your loving affection
What would life be?
What kind of life would that be?
So never leave me lonely
Promise to never leave me feeling alone
Tell me you love me only
Please let me know that you only love me
And that you'll always let it be me
And that you'll always choose me
Now and forever
For all time
Let it be me
Choose me
