Let It Be Me
The Romantic Strings and Orchestra 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 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
