Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll never stand in your way
If you ever found someone new
Who means more than me to you
Well, I'll never stand in your way
(I'll never stand in your way)
Don't let pity rule your heart
Because I'll never stand in your way
I love you much too much to ever lose you
(Ever lose you)
But what is to be will be and I'll obey
(I'll obey)
I'll be blue when you go
But I'll never let it show
And I'll never let it stand in your way
You see, I love you much too much to ever lose you
(To ever lose you)
But what is to be will be and I'll obey
(I'll obey)
I'll be blue when you go
But I'll never let it show
And I'll never let it stand in your way
(I'll never stand in your way)
