Run Away With Me
When first I caught your eye, offering a nod,
the magic of your gentle smile
took my breath away
Was I too daring to approach,
letting my throbbing pulse reveal
the secret of my heart?
Yet even before we spoke, your qualities
filled my soul with the need of you,
spurring me to beg...
Run away with me
Run away with me tonight
Run away with me
and share my life forever
My mouth dry, my throat tight with the
angst of feared rejection, I whispered,
"Are you taken in life?"
When you answered with a quiver of
your head and soft pursing lips,
I nearly fainted
Moving to you, I held out my open hand
inviting your company, my heart
pressing the act...
Run away with me
Run away with me tonight
Run away with me
and share my life forever
The fire of your love filled my life with
unwavering bliss, your dedication
completing our passion
With ethereal presence, you dreamed
my dreams and lived my life,
always by my side
Listening to my pleas, rising to fulfill my
needs, you answered the questions of
my heart and soul
Well, you ran away with me
You ran away with me that night
You ran away with me, and now,
in Heaven, stand by my side forever
