One of my all time favorite songs by The Everly Brothers is “Let it Be Me”. Just beautiful!

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

Let It Be Me ~~ Everly Brothers, Melbourne, 1989 (live)
THIRTY + years later and they still sounded GREAT!

“”Let It Be Me” is a popular song originally published in French in 1955 as “Je t’appartiens” interpreted by Gilbert Bécaud. It became popular worldwide with an English version by the Everly Brothers and later with the duet by Betty Everett and Jerry Butler.”

Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel were two teenagers who scored a hit when they mimicked the Everly Brothers' sound when they recorded as Tom & Jerry.
