Let It Be Me

The Everly Brothers

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

    General CommentI know this song is supposed to a happy love song, but I've always heard a sense of desperation in the lyrics.

    General CommentIt 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.

    General CommentI 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.

    General CommentMy 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. ❤

    General CommentIt’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.
