Let Me Be the One (vs. 1)

Hank Locklin · Generations in Song [Slewfoot] [2004]

(W.S. Stevenson - Paul Blevins - Joseph Hobson)



Let me be the one to walk with you

When you want somebody to talk with you

Anything that makes you happy I wanna do

Oh darling, let me be the one.



Let me be the one who means the most

The one you wanna love and call your own

And when you choose your partner I wanna be the choice

Oh please, let me be the one.



Let me be the one to sit with you

And when you want some lovin'

I'll know just what to do

Lots of lots of huggin' and a kiss or two

You've gotta let me be the one.



Let me be the one to take you out

To your favorite places you have no doubt

And when the evening's gone we'd kiss goodnight

Oh please, let me be the one.



--- Instrumental ---



Let me be the one to share with you

All your little pleasures and sorrows too

In all kind of weather I wanna be with you

Oh please, let me be one.



Let me be the one to hold your hand

When the preacher says do you take this man

All these happy thoughts will mean so much fun

If you'd only let me be the one...
