Roberta Flack’s re...
[Verse 1]
I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me
Don't, don't ever leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me
[Bridge]
Each time we meet love
I find complete love
But without your sweet love
What would my life be?
[Verse 2]
So don't, don't take this heaven from one
If you have to cling to someone
Now and forever
Oh, let it be me
[Bridge]
Each time, each time we meet love
I find complete love
But oh, without your sweet love
What would my life be?
[Outro]
Oh, don't, don't, don't take this heaven from one
If you have to cling to someone
Now and forever, now and forever, now and forever
Let it be me, yeah
