And the love I’ve shared with you I won’t forget

And if we should ever reach a hundred years dear

You will be the same sweet girl as when we met

I’m so glad that I have found you little darling

In my heart I hold the sweetest memory

And each time I gaze into your eyes it’s heaven

I can see the same sweet girl so dear to me

You will never have to live on just a promise

I will always be around you when you call

I will never share my kisses with another

Only with the same sweet girl my one and all

INTRO: [Notes/chords of last line of first verse]

Let Me Be The One to walk with you
When you want somebody to talk with you
Any- thing that makes you happy, I wanta do
Oh darlin’, Let Me Be The One.

Let Me Be The One who means the most
The one you want to love and call your own
And when you choose your partner
I want to be the choice
Oh please, Let Me Be The One.

Let Me Be The One to set with you
And when you want some lovin’
I’ll know just what to do
Lots and lots of huggin’ and a kiss or two
You’ve gotta Let Me Be The One.

Let Me Be The One to take you out
To your fav’rite places, you have no doubt
And when the evening’s gone, with a kiss goodnight
Oh please, Let Me Be The One.

Let Me Be The One to share with you
All your little pleasures and sorrows, too
In all kind of weather, I want to be with you
Oh please, Let Me Be The One.

Let Me Be The one to hold your hand
When the preacher says, “Do you take this man?”
All those happy thoughts, will mean so much fun
If you’ll only Let Me Be The One.

To tell you how I miss you ever since you sailed away

To tell you things are not the same when I’m so far from you

I’m sending all my love from here to there to you

From here to there to you and it’s oh so far away

Across this little painted map from here to there to you

I wish that I could go myself across this ocean of blue

Along with my love letter from here to there to you
