Lyrics
I will follow you
Follow you wherever you may go
There isn’t an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep me away
I must follow you
Ever since you touched my hand I know
That near you, I always must be
And nothing can keep you from me
You are my destiny
I love you, I love you, I love you
And where you go I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll follow
You’ll always be my true love, my true love, my true love
From now until forever, forever, forever
I will follow you
Follow you wherever you may go
There isn’t an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep
Keep me away, away from my love
I love you, I love you, I love you
And where you go I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll follow
You’ll always be my true love, my true love, my true love
From now until forever, forever, forever
I will follow you
Follow you wherever you may go
There isn’t an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep
Keep me away, away from my love
And where you go I’ll follow
