Verse 1

People tell me there will come a time

 when your heart and mine will grow cold

no more staring at the evening sky

 low replaces high when you're old

Chorus

as long as you're around I'll follow you

you won't ever be alone

as long as you're around I'll follow you

I will be wherever you go

Verse 2

they say the future is our enemy

 time eventually will set the sun

but I believe in you and you believe in me

how can we ever go wrong?

Chorus 2

as long as you're around I'll follow you

Your heart is never gonna break

as long as you're around I'll follow you

And I will give whatever this love takes

Bridge

 so be patient baby

 and hold me close

 I hope you understand

 you're a beautiful woman

 and I'm just a man

Verse 3

so in the hours of the darkest kind

 when it's hard to find who we are

one can stare into the other's eyes

 be each other's light in the dark

Chorus

as long as you're around I'll follow you

you won't ever be alone

as long as you're around I'll follow you

I will be wherever you go
