Follow Me
Olivia Newton-John 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
It's long been on my mind
You know it's been a long long time
I've tried to find a way that I could make you understand
The way I feel about you
And just how much I need you
To be there when 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
And places where I've been
To have you there beside me, we'll never be alone
And all the time that you're with me
Then we will be at home
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

Sweet darling, the last time I went somewhere was London England, back in 2005.
I woke up some "weird" day, and decided to get away for three days.
I don't travel much these days, nor do I have the time - even if I wanted to.
I'm afraid I am disappointing...sorry.
But I like the idea. I'd love to be next to you.

I love Olivia Newton John she had a very beautiful voice. This song followed me from the day when I meet the love of my life and soulmate. And then I lost him,but then 40+ years later got back up to him we are both married to others but wish we were together. Broken Hearts for the rest of our lives!
