Please Let Me Love You
The Byrds · Other Songs - The Byrds
Let me live in the warmth of your smile
Let them see you with me
Let them wish they could be
As lucky as me
To have you here
To hold you oh so near
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Please let me love you today
Let me give you my heart right away
And we'll walk in the sun
And we'll tell everyone
A new love has begun
Just you and me always
Oh yeah, oh yeah
And when I hold you I feel so high
And when I kiss you I could fly
Please Let Me Love You
