Look After You – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
When you think you're all alone
I'll wrap you up and I'll take you home
No matter what you're going through
I will look after you
When you get knocked down and you've had enough
Oh I'll be there to dust you off
When you don't know what you're gonna do
I will look after you
...
And if you ever should lose hope
Follow my light from afar
When you don't know where you're going to
I will look after you
I will look after you
...
Someday it will come to be
I'll need you to look after me
...
