"LET IT BE ME"

I was enjoying some Direct TV music channels tonight when the song "Let It Be Me" came on the classic country channel. Hey, growing up on the farm, before The Beatles, there were Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Webb Pierce, Cowboy Copas (..."I'm goin' back to Alabam"), Jim Reeves, and Porter Waggoner (among others). anyway, I listened to the Willie Nelson version and thought, damn, I have heard that song before...but where? It seems that the Everly Brothers did it, Elvis and Bob Dylan covered it. Wow, that's a hell of a legacy there...Elvis AND Dylan?
Here are the words...
God 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
Tell me, what would life be?
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me
They don't write 'em like that anymore....
