[Verse 1: Skeeter Davis & Bobby Bare]
I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me

[Verse 2: Skeeter Davis & Bobby Bare]
Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me

[Bridge: Skeeter Davis & Bobby Bare]
Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be?

[Verse 3: Skeeter Davis & Bobby Bare]
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you'll love me only
And that you'll always let it be me

[Spoken: Skeeter Davis & Bobby Bare]
If for each bit of gladness
Someone must taste of sadness
I'll bear the sorrow, please let it be me
And no matter what the price is
I'll make the sacrifices
For each new tomorrow, just let it be me
[Bridge: Skeeter Davis & Bobby Bare]
Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be?

[Verse 3: Skeeter Davis & Bobby Bare]
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you'll love me only
And that you'll always let it be me

[Outro: Skeeter Davis & Bobby Bare]
Let it be me
