So lately, been wondering Who will be there to take my place When I'm gone you'll need love to light the shadows on your face If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all Then between the sand and stone, could you make it on your own If I could, then I would I'll go wherever you will go Way up high or down low, I'll go wherever you will go And maybe, I'll find out A way to make it back someday To watch you, to guide you through the darkest of your days If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all Then I hope there's someone out there who can bring me back to you If I could, then I would I'll go wherever you will go Way up high or down low, I'll go wherever you will go Run away with my heart Run away with my hope Run away with my love I know now, just quite how My life and love might still go on In your heart, in your mind, I'll stay with you for all of time If I could, then I would I'll go wherever you will go Way up high or down low, I'll go wherever you will go If I could turn back time, I'll go wherever you will go If I could make you mine, I'll go wherever you will go I'll go wherever you will go
