Some sleepless night if you should find yourself alone
Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to
When you need someone to turn to
Let me be the one
To set things right
When this whole world’s turned upside down Chorus
For love and understanding, to find a quiet place
For silent understanding, a loving touch
Come to me when things go wrong
And there’s no love to light the way Chorus
Note: “Was written by the great writing team
of Roger Nichols and Paul Williams who produced “We’ve Only Just Begun,”
“I Won’t Last A Day Without You” and “Rainy Days and Mondays,” among others.
“Let Me Be The One” was submitted to me in a stack of “dubs” from A&M
publishing company. I listened through the stack and discarded all
but two, a great two. One was “Let Me Be The One,” the other was “Rainy
Days and Mondays”. We agonized between “Superstar” and :”Let Me Be
The One”. I love them both and ultimately chose “Superstar,” but “Let
Me Be The One” remains on of my favorites – Richard Carpenters
