Sister Act - I Will Follow Him Lyrics
Little Peggy March
Lyrics
I will follow him
Follow him wherever he may go.
And near him I always will be,
For nothing can keep me away.
He is my destiny.
I will follow him
Ever since he touched my heart I knew.
There isn't an ocean to deep,
A mountain so high it can keep,
Keep me away,
Away from his love.
I love him,
I love him,
I love him.
And where he goes
I'll follow,
I'll follow,
I'll follow.
I will follow him.
Follow him wherever he may go.
There isn't an ocean to deep,
A mountain so high it can keep,
Keep me away
You did it.
You did it.
I will follow him.(Follow him)
Follow him wherever he may go.(uhhhh)
There isn't an ocean to deep,(to deep)
A mountain so high it can keep,
Keep us away,
Away from his love
