I Will Follow You
Rick Nelson · For Your Sweet Love [Decca] [1963]
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...
