Wherever You Go (AOV 1/59)

Wherever You Go (AOV 1/59)

- Gregory Norbet’s

    Sung

    Wherever you go, I shall go.
    Wherever you live, so shall I live.
    Your people will be my people,
    And your God will be my God too.

    Wherever you die, I shall die.
    And there shall I be buried beside you.
    We will be together forever;
    And our love will be the gift of our lives.

    Spoken
    I want to say something to all of you
    Who have become a part
    Of the fabric of my life.

    The color and texture
    Which you have brought into my being
    Have become a song,
    And I want to sing it forever.

    There is an energy in us
    Which makes things happen
    When the paths of other persons
    touch ours.
    And we have to be there
    And let it happen.

    When the time
    Of our particular sunset comes
    Our thing, our accomplishment
    Won’t really matter a great deal.

    But the clarity and care
    With which we have loved others
    Will speak with vitality
    Of the great gift of life
    We have been for each other.

    Sung
    Wherever you go, I shall go.
    Wherever you live, so shall I live.
    Your people will be my people,
    And your God will be my God too.

    Wherever you die, I shall die.
    And there shall I be buried beside you.
    We will be together forever;
    And our love will be the gift of our lives.

    We will be together forever;
    And our love will be the gift of our lives.
