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
