Please Let Me Be - Jerry Jeff Walker

Please let me be

Happy to just watch you smile

Oh, let me be

Resting here with you awhile

There is no need to

Feel you have to

Say a word to me

Just be yourself

Free within, without a sound

Your smile’s enough

Don’t speak out to tie us down

Why use phrases

That yesterday said

We were not so free

This is the peace we want to last

A simple sharing

Of two not caring

To impress this world

So let me be

Happy to just watch you smile

Oh, let me be

Resting here with you awhile

There is no need to

Feel you have to

Say a word to me

This is the peace we want to last and last and last…
