Nina Simone
If You Knew / Let It Be Me
If You Knew
If you knew how I missed you
You would not stay away today
Don't you know I need you
Stay here my dear with me
I need you here my darling
Together for a day a day
Together never parting
Just you just me my love
I can't go on without you
Your love is all I'm living for
I love all things about you
Your heart, your soul my love
I need you here beside me
Forever and a day a day
I know whatever betides me
I love you I love you I do
Let It Be Me
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
