There’s something timeless about a song that blends romance with raw vulnerability, and “Let Me Live With Love (And Die With You)” captures that sentiment perfectly. It’s more than just a love song; it’s a heartfelt declaration of wanting to be with someone through every chapter of life—the ups, the downs, and all the in-betweens. This isn’t about fleeting romance or a passion that fizzles out. It’s about a love that endures, a commitment that stands strong, and a longing that feels both tender and unbreakable.
When you listen to the lyrics, you can almost feel the singer’s soul on display—pleading not just for companionship but for a life that’s intertwined, where love is the constant thread that weaves it all together. The chorus is a plea: “Let me live with love, and if I must go, let me die with you.” It’s simple, direct, yet profoundly powerful.
Musically, the melody flows gently, almost like a lullaby, carrying a sense of calm assurance. It complements the emotional weight of the lyrics, making the listener feel cocooned in a soft embrace of nostalgia and yearning. This song takes you on a journey—one where you can almost see a couple growing old together, cherishing every moment, every shared laugh, and even every tear.
But what truly makes “Let Me Live With Love (And Die With You)” special is the universal wish it expresses. We all want a love like that, don’t we? Someone to share our days with, to be our home, our anchor. Someone to stand by us not just in the vibrant days of youth but also when time has etched its marks on our faces and slowed our steps. It’s a song that makes you reflect on what it means to truly live—and love—fully.

Lyrics
Honey, sit down, let me tell you what I’m thinking
A story I remember as a kid
About a man who tried to tell his wife he loved her
And the strong and simple heart felt way he did
He said, I thank the Lord for blessing me with feelings
And the strength to work and live the way I do
And then I asked my two most wanted wishes
Let me live with love and die with you
Now the woman in that story was my mama
So I’m passing on a family legacy
And when I tell you that I feel just like my daddy
And every night I fall down on my knees
And I thank the Lord for blessing me with feelings
And the strength to work and live the way I do
And then I asked my two most wanted wishes
Let me live with love and die with you
Yes, let me live with love and die with you
