About the song
There’s something profoundly tender about Willie Nelson’s song “And So Will You My Love.” It’s not just a melody—it’s a quiet whisper from the heart, wrapped in gentle guitar strums and Nelson’s unmistakable voice, full of soul and sincerity. This track, often overshadowed by his more commercial hits, holds a special kind of magic for those who appreciate the softer, more reflective side of his artistry.
Released in 1969 as part of the album My Own Peculiar Way, the song is built on a simple yet deeply emotional premise: the enduring power of love. Nelson’s lyrics are direct but poetic, offering a quiet reassurance that the love he gives will be returned in kind. The line “I’ll walk in the sunshine with you, my love, and so will you, my love” isn’t just a promise—it’s a reflection of deep emotional symmetry, the idea that love is shared, mirrored, and cherished equally by both hearts.
Musically, the song is delicate and uncluttered. The arrangement allows the emotions to breathe. With minimal instrumentation, every note, every pause, and every inflection in Nelson’s voice feels intentional. You can almost picture him sitting alone with his guitar, singing not to a crowd, but to one person—the one who holds his heart.
What makes “And So Will You My Love” particularly beautiful is its timeless sentiment. It doesn’t try to impress. It doesn’t boast. Instead, it lingers quietly in the background of your mind, offering comfort, warmth, and a sense of calm. It’s a song that speaks to lovers young and old, reminding us that the most profound love often comes in the most unassuming packages.
If you’ve never heard it, you’re in for a gentle, heartfelt surprise. And if you have, you know—it’s the kind of song that stays with you long after the last note fades.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The music stopped
The crowd is thinning now
One phase of night
Has reached an ending now[Chorus]
And nothing, nothing lasts forever
Except forever and you my love
And so will you, my love, my love[Verse 2]
The street is dark here
Here while I walk along
And since you’ve gone
I always walk alone[Chorus]
‘Cause nothing, nothing lasts forever
Except forever and you my love
And so will you, my love, my love[Bridge]
And so will you, my love
Your memory is always near
Wherever I am found
Your memory is still around

Except forever and you my love
And so will you, my love, my love
