Nina Simone - If You Knew / Let It Be Me lyrics

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
