Let It Be Me

Don't break up with him.
There's no life without your love.
Don't leave him lonely.

This is an English version of the song "Je t'appartiens" by Gilbert Becaud and Pierre Delanoe. Tons of singers have done this one. Dylan recorded it for the 1970 album "Self Portrait." It's one of the numerous cover versions of middle-of-the-road pop music that people see as Dylan's confounding attempt to shed his status as a seer and a musical visionary, and to take on the guise of just another singer who's not beset by batshit-crazy fans. I've also included a rare version from the sessions for the 1981 album "Shot of Love." 

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 love me only
And that you'll always
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 love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me
