Follow my heartbeat
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I threw a penny in a wishing well
And made a wish for me
Than I threw in another one
Just in case it might take two
I’m closing my eyes and concentrating
Tell my pact and leave
I’m sending my love to you baby
Till you get the message from me

Just come a, come a, come a little closer baby
With every single step you take
To the end of the rainbow
On a yellow bricked road
And see what kind of magic we make

Follow, follow, follow my heartbeat
Follow, follow, follow my love
Follow, follow, follow my heartbeat
Follow, follow, follow my love

I got your number in my rollerdex baby
Underlined your name in red
I hope you’re feeling every love beat
I’m giving you the go ahead

So come a, come a, come a little closer baby
With every single step you take
To the end of the rainbow
On a yellow bricked road
And see what kind of magic we make

Follow, follow, follow my heartbeat
Follow, follow, follow my love
Follow, follow, follow my heartbeat
Follow, follow, follow my love

Follow, follow, follow my heartbeat
Follow, follow, follow my love
Follow, follow, follow my heartbeat
Follow, follow, follow my love

So come a, come a, come a little closer baby
With every single step you take
To the end of the rainbow
On a yellow bricked road
And see what kind of magic we make

Follow, follow, follow my heartbeat
Follow, follow, follow my love
Follow, follow, follow my heartbeat
Follow, follow, follow my love
Follow, follow, follow my heartbeat
Follow, follow, follow my love




Follow, follow, follow my heartbeat
Follow, follow, follow my love
