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 Than 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
