A letra:

A gypsy wind is blowin' warm tonight
The sky is starlit and the time is right
And still you're tellin' me you have to go
Before you leave, there's something you should know
Yeah, somethin' you should know babe

I've seen you smiling in the summer sun
I've seen your long hair flyin' when you run
I've rnade my mind up that it's meant to be
Someday lady, you'll accomp'ny me

Someday lady, you'll accomp'ny me
Out where the rivers meet the sound and sea
You're high above me now, you're wild and free, ah but
Someday lady, you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady, you'll accomp'ny me, yeah

Some people say that love's a losin' game
You start with fire, but you lose the flame
The ashes smolder, but the warmth's soon gone
You end up cold, and lonely on your own

I'll take my chances, babe I'll risk it all
I'll win your love or I'll take the fall
I've made my mind up girl, it's meant to be
Someday lady, you'll accomp'ny me

Someday lady, you'll accomp'ny me
It's written down somewhere, it's got to be
You're high above me flyin' wild and free
Oh but someday lady, you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady, you'll accomp'ny me

Someday lady, you'll accomp'ny me
Out where the rivers meet the sound and sea
I feel it in my soul, it's meant to be
Oh someday lady, you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady, you'll accomp'ny me

You will accomp'ny me (Ooh-who) yeah
(Ooh-who, you'll accomp'ny me)
I know you will accomp'ny me now, ah
(Ooh-who, you'll accomp'ny me)
Someday lady (Ooh-who)
Ah, someday lady (Ooh-who you'll accomp'ny me)
Your gonna accomp'ny me now
Your gonna walk with me an' talk with me, yeah
(Ooh-who, ooh-who you'll accomp'ny me, ooh-who)
Yeah (Ooh-who), oh
Gonna accomp'ny me (Ooh-who)
Gonna accomp'ny me, yeah (You'll accomp'ny me)
Someday (Ooh-who)
