GO MY WAY
Gordon Lightfoot
1971


Go my way and I'll be good to you
Go my way and your dreams will all come true
In the sunset the wild waves are calling
My shadow is following you.

Go my way and I'll take you by the hand
Believe in me and I'll do the best I can
I can't be anything but just what I am
I can't help it if I'm in love with you.

Why must I sail my ship alone without a friend
My thoughts are on you, I dare not ask again.

Go my way it's the only way to go
Things aren't working out, you'll be the first to know
Come on along and together we'll go
Please love me and say that you'll be mine.

Why must I sail my ship alone without a friend
My thoughts are on you, I dare not ask again.

Go my way it's the only way to go
If things aren't working out you'll be the first to know
Come on along and together we'll go
Please love me and say that you'll be mine.
