Lyrics
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, sweet love
What would life be?
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me
Now and forever
Let it be me
