I Can’t Run Away

[Verse 1]
The old familiar places
That we used to go
I can't stand to see them, dear
For I still love you so
The things you've touched, the things you did
Are making me feel blue
I just can't run away
From my love for you

[Chorus 1]
You've been part of my heart for so long, dear
That I'd rather die than think we are through
I can run, I can hide
But you still remain inside me
I just can't run away
From my love for you

[Verse 2]
I wander through our homestead
I see you everywhere
No one could take your place, dear
No one could compare
With your tender smile, your loving kiss
The little things you do
I just can't run away
From my love for you

[Chorus 2]
Though you say you love another, I can love no one but you
Though you broke my heart on purpose, my broken heart is true
When I think of you, a memory burns
But what can I do?
I just can't run away
From my love for you

[Slide Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 1]
You've been part of my heart for so long, dear
That I'd rather die than think we are through
I can run, I can hide
But you still remain inside me
I just can't run away
From my love for you
