Follow Me
Red Astaire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's by far the hardest thing I've ever done
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
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
