I Want to Go With You
Kitty Wells · Country All the Way [1966]
I wanna go with you
To that other world we knew
The one your love takes me to
I wanna go with you.
I wish I were glass
So you could see through
Then you'd know before you ask
That I wanna go with you.
I wanna go with you
To that other world we knew
The one your love takes me to
I wanna go with you.
--- Instrumental ---
You take me away
To a world I never knew
But what else can say
I wanna go with you.
I wanna go with you
To that other world we knew
The one your love takes me to
I wanna go with you...
