Let Me Be the One

Let me be the one

I try to sense, all that you feel
I wonder if your love is real
Why don't you let me be the one?

I know you're filled with doubt and fear
please let me dry all of your tears
Why can't I be you're rising sun?

Chorus

Let me be the one
I can be the one you love
Let me be the one

Let me be the one
you fit me like a hand in glove
Let me be the one... that you love


You've waited forever for love
All your life prayed to God above
Don't you see, He's answered your prayers?

You might not feel like I'm the one
but you'll feel different, when I'm done
'cause I'm the one who really cares

Chorus

When I look deep into your eyes
maybe that's when you'll realize
that I'm the only man for you

Love whispers softly in your ears
with a voice so crystal clear
I want to spend my life with you!

Go to chorus
fade

Everyone is different. Some like myself, weigh the risk, the pleasure of love or the pain when it leaves. I think I'll keep my distance. Nice one, John:)

Yeah, I understand, there's a Spanish proverb loosely translated after being burned by milk you see a cow and cry, something like that. Anyway thanks for the visit, always welcome here.

Yeah most of my lyrics have music, just need to be recorded, and I'm working on that. Thanks Charlie, I appreciate your visits.

A beauty John, sometimes we don't realize what's in our hearts. My fave of yours thus far.

Excellent Lyric John. So many people fear to love again after much hurt and it certainly takes patience by another to slowly get through the fear someone else has. I think many will relate to this! :)

Beautiful lyrics with a wonderful message. You are a machine my friend, let's hope those gears and cogs keep turning.

Sorry, I meant a machine with a heart and a soul. I have seen nothing but quality from you my friend. Every set of lyrics I read by you has a specific message and express your emotions wonderfully.

Yeah, machine with feelings, it's a little slow going lately but trying to go for quality rather than quantity. Thanks for the visit and encouragement.
