Run Away

They met at school that's how it goes

Some drinks and then a rose

Then plans to meet again

He wrote her poems, songs and prose

She knew that he'd propose

She only wondered when

One night before they went to bed

He kneeled on both knees

And this is what he said

I may not be wise

And I won't save the day

But look in my eyes

And know I'll always stay

And I won't run away

I won't run away

Some years went by, they had a child

He was funny, strange, and mild

Their love for him ran deep

Some nights his dreams would drive him wild

So into bed, she piled

To help him fall asleep

One night he couldn't get to bed

So she kneeled on both knees

And this is what she said

I may not be wise

And I won't save the day

But look in my eyes

And know I'll always stay

And I won't run away

I won't run away

You say it's safer on your own

You'd rather sleep alone

Then grow to need me there

But I hope now you can see

What my mom and dad showed me

I'm not going anywhere

I love you more and more each day

To love is not to leave

So hear me when I say

I may not be wise

And I won't save the day

But look in my eyes

And know I'll always stay

And I won't run away

I won't run away
