Let It Be Me - Gilbert Bécaud

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’ll love me only

And that you’ll always let it be me.

If for each bit of gladness

Someone must taste of sadness

I’ll bear the sorrow, let it be me.

No matter what the price is

I’ll make no sacrifices.

Through each tomorrow let it be me.

To you I’m praying,

hear what I’m saying.

Please, let your heart beat

for me, just me.

And never leave me lonely,

Tell me you’ll love me only

And that you’ll always let it be me,

Let it be me.

— Gilbert Becaud
