Let It Be Me
B.J. Thomas · Help Me Make It (To My Rockin' Chair) [1975]
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.
--- Instrumental ---
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.
