Let It Be Me Lyrics
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me
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?
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be?
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me
I know this song is supposed to a happy love song, but I've always heard a sense of desperation in the lyrics.
It is perhaps about remembering where we come from. It is a sweet work of love and will outlast any attempts to interpret it with a dark slant.
I think this song is just about someone slowly going out of your life and you don't want them to. I hate to say this but it is kind of like a desperation plea like the person above said. They are begging the other person to love them only and always let it be them.
My husband( the love of my life) sang this to me. Just 5 yrs. later he would die from leukemia..It still brings bittersweet memories and tears. Thanks for letting it be me. ❤
It’s a first confession of serious intent.
If this is put into its proper place & time, this is a young man saying he wants this to last forever…meaning, become permanent.
One of the sweetest songs of its kind, performed by voices that fit it perfectly.
