Follow Me
John And Anne Barbour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To be so in love with you and so alone
Follow me where I go, what I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me, up and down all the way and all around
Take my hand and say you'll follow me
You know it's been a long, long time
I've tried to find the way that I can make you understand
The way I feel about you, just how much I need you
To be there where I can talk to you
When there's no one else around
Follow me where I go, what I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me, up and down all the way and all around
Take my hand and say you'll follow me
You see, I'd like to share my life with you
And show you things I've seen
Places that I'm going to, places where I've been
To have you there beside me, never be alone
And all the time that you're with me
We will be at home
Follow me where I go, what I do, who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me, up and down all the way
Take my hand and I will follow you
