Song:
Am
I walked along the avenue
Am G
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
G
Need a girl like you
Am
With auburn hair and tawny eyes
Am G
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through
G
Hypnotize me through
F
And I ran
G
I ran so far away
F
I just ran
G
I ran all night and day
I couldnt get away
(song does same cording for the rest of the song)
A cloud appears above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on you
Shining down on you
The cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora Borealis comes in view
Aurora comes in view
And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away
Reached out a hand to touch your face
You're slowly disappearing from my view
Appearing from my view
Reached out a hand to try again
I'm floating in a beam of light with you
A beam of light with you
And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I ran all night and day
And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I couldn't get away
