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 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
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
The song Let It Be Me is a beautiful and emotional love song, capturing the essence of true love and commitment. The first verse is a declaration of love, where the singer expresses how grateful they are to have found their beloved and how they never want to leave their side. The second verse is a plea to the lover to not choose anyone else over them, and to always choose to be with them.
The chorus reinforces the lover's undying love, saying that with their love they find completeness and that life without it would be meaningless. They also make a request for the lover to promise to always choose them, to never leave them feeling lonely, and to only love them.
The song evokes a sense of vulnerability and sincerity in the listener, and it's hard to not feel moved by the emotive lyrics and the beautiful melody. Let It Be Me represents a desire for lifelong commitment and companionship, and the deep trust and love that come with it.

I remember seeing them together on his show, they were engaging in small talk, border line flirting, before their song. I was just a kid, but even at that young age the chemistry between those two just emanated to such a degree, even I could sense it at a young age.
