Let It Be Me
Willy DeVille 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 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




Now and forever
Let it be me

Draws the emotion out of ya...!
Hurts and I feel it, like taking a week old bandage off the forearm, slowly. 😢.

So many times I've asked same question but decided to finally give up. Stop wanting partnership, maybe it's me but maybe not...

No matter what; always, ALWAYS... LET IT BE ME !

BLAZE FOLEY, also a great song writer and emotional interpreter...
CLAY PIGEONS, IF I COULD FLY songs... !

You know it’s really sad but I wonder how many people know about this guy. Surely one of the most underrated musicians of his generation with a voice that once you have heard it you can never forget. Just amazing !
