Follow Me
John Denver

John Denver
Take Me To Tomorrow
1970
I attended a coffeehouse in Holland Patent on Saturday
and a local group called Circle Five played an all-John
Denver set.  Well, the only songs that were good were
the ones played by the big dude with the black guitar
but it made me think about doing this song.  So here it
is.  One other note: I'm outta here in 2 weeks so I'm
excited ;)  Have fun with this.  We miss you, John.

LYRICS:
It's by far the hardest thing I've ever done To be so in love with you and so alone
CHORUS Follow me where I go what I do and who I know Make it part of you to be a part of me Follow me up and down all the way and all around Take my hand and say you'll follow me
It's long been on my mind you know it's been a long long time I've tried to find the way that I can make you understand The way I feel about you and just how much I need you To be there where I can talk to you when there's no one else around
CHORUS Follow me where I go what I do and who I know Make it part of you to be a part of me Follow me up and down all the way and all around Take my hand and say you'll follow me
You see I'd like to share my life with you and show you things I've seen Places that I'm going to places where I've been To have you there beside me and never be alone And all the time that you're with me we will be at home
CHORUS Follow me where I go what I do and who I know Make it part of you to be a part of me Follow me up and down all the way Take my hand and I will follow you play ending
