Watching Over You
The Mick Fleetwood Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The world will turn,
And I'll be here
In time you'll learn, my love
Will never disappear

The season's change
And start anew
My love will stay the same
Always here for you

So close your eyes and dream
That's all you have to do
Knowing I will always be
Watching over you

The winds may blow
The storms will rise
But you will always know
This peace is deep inside

And as you grow
You'll come to see
No matter where you go
You'll keep a part of me

So close your eyes and dream
That's all you have to do
Knowing I will always be
Watching over you

And through the dark, don't be afraid
Inslde your heart is where I will always stay

So close your eyes and dream
That's all you have to do




Knowing I will always be
Watching over you
