Let It Be Me
Sonny Cher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I 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 made 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

And that you'll always
Let it be me
And that you'll always
Let it be me




And that you'll always
Let it be me
