Robin Trower 🎸 Let Me Be the One

This mysterious song was likely recorded during the making of Robin Trower's 4th studio album 'Long Misty Days' (1976), and didn't make it. But some 34 years later it was released on the massive compilation album; 'A Tale Untold: The Chrysalis Years 1973–1976' (2010 - 3 CD set) as a remastered bonus track in the 'Long Misty Days' section, and the last song on disc 3.
This is a fan made video for the song and is dedicated to the memory of James Dewar (1942 - 2002), the bass player and vocalist in Robin Trower band from 1973 - 1983.

"Let Me Be the One" (lyrics)

Let me be the first
Let me be the last
Let me be the one, your future and your past
To hold you like I did
And love you like before
You stand there all alone,
Crying out for more
Let me be the first
Let me be the last
Let me be the one to love you

I told you once before
Its a sin to tell a lie
Take someone who loves you
And then teach them how to cry
To set a soul aflame
Its happy for awhile
Walk right out the door
Its so cold without your smile

Let me be the first
Let me be the last
Let me be the one to love you

Sometimes I dream of you
Everythings alright
But all the dreams of the whole wide world
Won't fill one empty night
When you kill yourself just thinking
Smoking cigarettes
Because it hurts when you remember
And there's no way to forget
I could have been the first
I should have been the last
But I guess I am just someone who loves you
