Lyrics
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 (ooh)
I find complete love (ooh)
Without your sweet love, tell me
What would life be
So never leave me lonely
Just tell me you’ll love me only
And that you’ll always
Let it be me
Ooh
Each time we meet love (ooh)
I find complete love (ooh)
Without your sweet love
What would life be
So never leave me lonely
Just tell me you’ll love me only
And that you’ll always
Let it be me
And that you’ll always
Let it be me
So never leave me lonely (ooh)
Just tell me you’ll love me only
That you’ll always
Let it be me
