Run To Me
Barry Gibb Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If ever you got rain in your heart
Someone has hurt you and torn you apart
Am I unwise
To open up your eyes to love me?
And let it be like they said it could be
Me loving you girl, and you loving me
Am I unwise
To open up your eyes to love me?

Run to me, whenever you're lonely (to love me)
Run to me, when you need a shoulder
Now and then, you need someone older
So darling
You run to me

And when you're out in the cold
No one beside you, and no one to hold
Am I unwise
To open up your eyes?
And when you've got nothing to lose
Nothing to pay for and nothing to choose
Am I unwise
To open up your eyes to love me?

Run to me, whenever you're lonely
Run to me, when you need a shoulder
Now and then, you need someone older
So darling
You run to me

Run to me, whenever you're lonely (to love me)
When you need a shoulder
Now and then, you need someone older
So darling
You run to me

You run to me, whenever you are lonely (to love me)
You can run to me
Now and then, you need someone older




So darling (darling)
You run to me
