Have you seen her face? With her eyes reflect the colors in the sky On one familiar place To be swept into Whenever she's close by Makes me wonder why Run by, don't turn back Can't hide from the look in her eye Must be the way she walks A style made up to capture all she needs No time to spend on this talk If your luck runs dry She might see you tonight Everything inside Run by, don't turn back Can't hide from the look in her eye Run by, don't turn back Can't hide from the look in her eye You'll find you're locked in her spell All the sights and sounds Your senses will be found And only time will tell How much love can be to wait so patiently Wait and see Run by, don't turn back Can't hide from the look in her eye
