Let It Be Me
The Everly Brothers Lyrics
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
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
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 Everly Brothers' Let It Be Me is a classic love song that speaks of an unyielding love that has brought two people together. The opening lines "I bless the day I found you, I want to stay around you" indicate a deep connection, and the singer is grateful to have found the person they are addressing. This is truly a song of begging, as the singer pleads to always be the object of his lover's affection. The phrase, "Don't take this heaven from one, If you must cling to someone" displays jealousy, reminding the partner not to take this blissful union for granted.
The second stanza re-emphasizes the importance of their relationship; it is so significant that the singer feels life couldn't exist without it. With the repeated line, "Each time we meet, love, I find complete love, without your sweet love, what would life be," it is clear that the singer is deeply enamored with the other person, and nothing else seems to come close to the beauty of their connection. The last part of the song reiterates that the singer wants to be loved exclusively and forever, and begs the question "Let It Be Me" time and time again, to ensure that their love is never compromised.

Still beautiful after all these years and still eyes fill with tears. Imagine..someone saying "Let it be me" I could use a hug ...just about now. If anyone else can..sending air hugs to all.
