Let Me Into Your Life
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hurt you.
How could anyone hurt you
Leave you
How could anyone want to
You must forget him
Turn away from your sorrow
Let me love you
And I'll show you tomorrow
Just let me into your life
Let me tear down the wall
That is keeping you outside the heart of you
Let me into your life
If I can't have you all
Then at least give me one little part of you
Let me into your life
Trust in me
Let your heart learn to trust in me
Need me
That's the way that it must be
Just let me love you
Can't you see I was made to
Let me love you
Why are you so afraid to
Just let me into your life
Let me tear down the wall
That is keeping you outside the heart of you
Let me into your life
If I can't have you all
Then at least give me one little part of you
Let me into your life




Just let me into your life
I will love you forever if you let me into your life
