Let It Be Me

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

God 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.



--- 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.
