LET ME LOVE YOU
Bart Howard

as rec by Johnny Hartman  
Sep 24th 1964 New Jersey


Let me love you,
Let me say that I do;
If you lend me your ear
I'll make it clear,
The way that I do!

Let me whisper it,
Let me sigh it,
Let me sing it, my dear,
Or I will cry it!

Let me love you,
Let me show that I do;
Let me do a million impossible things
So you know that I do!

I'll buy you the dawn
If you let me love you today,
And if that's not enough,
I'll buy you the first of May!

Let me love you,
Let me show that I do;
Let me do a million impossible things
So you'll know that I do!

I'll buy you the dawn
If you let me love you today,
And if that's not enough,
I'll buy you the first of May,
And I'll send you merrily on your way!

LET ME LOVE YOU
Bart Howard

Johnny Mathis (1957)


Let me love you,
Let me say that I do.
If you'll lend me your ear,
I'll make it clear, the way that I do.

Let me whisper it,
Let me sigh it,
Let me sing it my dear,
Or I will cry it.

Let me love you,
Let me show that I do,
Let me do a million impossible things,
So you'll know that I do.

I'll buy you the dawn,
If you let me love you today.
And if that's not enough,
I'll buy you the first of May.

(Bridge)

Let me whisper it,
Let me sigh it,
Let me sing it my dear, 
Or I will cry it.

Let me love you,
Let me show that I do.
Let me do a million impossible things,
So you'll know that I do.

I'll buy you the dawn
If you let me love you today
And if that's not enough,
I'll buy you the first of May……..

And tomorrow send you,
Merrily on your way.
