Lyrics
I will follow you
Follow you wherever you may go
There isn’t an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep me awayI must follow you
Ever since you touched my hand I know
That near you I always must be
And nothing can keep you from me
You are my destinyI love you I love you I love you and where you go
I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll followYou’ll always be my true love, my true love, my true love
From now until forever, forever, foreverI will follow you
Follow you wherever you may go
There isn’t an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep
Keep me away away from my loveI love you, I love you, I love you and where you go
I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll followYou’ll always be my true love, my true love, my true love
From now until forever, forever, foreverI will follow you
Follow you wherever you may go
There isn’t an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep
Keep me away away from my love
A where you go I’ll follow
