Let Me Love You
Unveiling Love's Symphony: Shirley Horn's Melodic Plea
Lyrics
Let me love you
Expressing a desire to love the listener
Let me say that you do
Reiterating the request to let the speaker love
If you lend me your ear
Suggesting a need for the listener's attention
I'll make it clear the way that I do
Committing to clarify the speaker's feelings
Let me whisper it
Asking permission to express affection softly
Let me sigh it
Desiring to convey emotions through a sigh
Let me sing it, my dear
Offering to express love through singing
Or I will cry it
Expressing a willingness to cry if necessary
Let me love you
Repeating the desire to love the listener
Let me show that I do
Reaffirming the intention to demonstrate love
Let me do a million impossible things
Promising to do extraordinary things to prove love
So you'll know that I do
Ensuring the listener recognizes the depth of love
I'll buy you the dawn
Symbolic gesture of gifting the dawn
If you let me love you today
Conditionally offering love today
And tomorrow I'll send you
Promising future expressions of love
Merrily on your way
Wishing the listener happiness on their journey
Let me love you
Reiterating the desire to love the listener
Let me say that I do
Reaffirming the intention to express love
If you lend me your ear
Repeating the need for the listener's attention
I'll make it clear the way that I do
Committing to clarify feelings once more
Let me whisper it
Requesting permission to whisper affection
Let me sigh it
Expressing a desire to convey emotions through a sigh
Let me sing it, my dear
Offering to express love through singing again
Or I will cry it
Expressing a willingness to cry if needed
Let me love you
Reiterating the desire to love the listener
Let me show that I do
Reaffirming the intention to demonstrate love
Let me do a million impossible things
Promising to do extraordinary things once more
So you'll know that I do
Ensuring the listener recognizes the depth of love
I'll buy you the dawn
Symbolic gesture of gifting the dawn once again
If you'll let me love you today
Conditionally offering love today again
And tomorrow I'll send you
Promising continued expressions of love
Merrily on your way, on your way, on your way
Wishing the listener happiness on their ongoing journey
On your way, on your way, on your way
Repeating good wishes for the listener's journey
