Let It Be Me
Everly Brothers Lyrics

The Everly Brothers' Let It Be Me is a ballad celebrating the wonders of love and the desire to spend every moment of life with the one we love. The song is a love letter that expresses the overwhelming desire to protect and hold the one we love. The opening lines of the song, "I bless the day I found you, I want to stay around you, and so I beg you, let it be me," convey a sense of gratitude for finding someone special and a sincere wish to be the one who can take care of them forever. The singer is saying that he wants to be the one who can make the other person feel complete and confident.

The second verse of the song emphasizes the singer's concerns about losing the one he loves. He says, "Don't take this heaven from one, if you must cling to someone, now and forever, let it be me." These lines show that the singer feels that he is the only one who can complete the other person and that he is willing to be the only one who can make them feel secure, happy and loved.

The chorus of the song repeats, "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 love me only, and that you'll always let it be me." This part of the song embodies the central theme and message, which is the desire for love, acceptance, and assurance. The singer asks the loved one never to leave him lonely and to always tell him that he is the only one.
