Ray Price Lyrics

(Hy Heath)

So you and your true love have parted
And you've left her all alone
Dont hesitate, until it's too late
Just say that the fault was your own.

Chorus:
Run boy, fast as you can
Back to the one who loves only you
Tell her your sorry you had to part
And don't break her heart in two.

Just tell her you can't live without her
And don't let this be the end
Don't let your pride, cast your love aside
Go back and start over again.

Chorus:
Run boy, as fast as you can
Back to the one who loves only you
Tell her you'll never roam again
And dont break her heart in two.

Go back and ask her to forgive you
For doubting a love so true
Dont be ashamed to say you are to blame
Her arms are still yearning for you.

Chorus:
Run boy, fast as you can
Back to the one who loves only you




Tell her your sorry you had to part
And don't break her heart in two...
