(Eric Carmen) |
|
She was just an average blue-eyed |
|
Golden high school dream |
|
An illusion nothing real could ever touch |
|
Funny love seemed so much more intense |
|
At seventeen |
|
When I knew she'd never love me |
|
Half as much |
|
I recall the desperate vow I made |
|
I must find a way somehow to win her heart |
|
I've got to make her mine |
|
Gonna run away |
|
Till I prove that I'm a man |
|
Gonna run away |
|
Be the best I know I can |
|
Got to run away |
|
Got to find my space and time |
|
And I cannot rest a day until I make her mine |
|
Trades were made for promises |
|
Of a timeless memory |
|
And I knew but still refused to comprehend |
|
The fantasy more glamorous |
|
Then she could ever be |
|
Was the course of least resistance |
|
In the end |
|
I recall the desperate vow I made |
|
I must find a way somehow to win her heart |
|
I've got to make her mine |
|
Gonna run away |
|
Till I prove that I'm a man |
|
Gonna run away |
|
Be the best I know I can |
|
Got to run away |
|
Got to find my space and time |
|
And I cannot rest a day until I make her mine |
|
Long ago an innocence |
|
Lived deep within my soul |
|
In a yesterday where love |
|
And dreams remain |
|
But disillusion clouds my eyes |
|
And the winter takes it's toll |
|
For the spring has gone |
|
And will not come again |
|
I recall the desperate vow I made |
|
I must find a way somehow to win her heart |
|
I've got to make her mine |
|
Gonna run away |
|
Till I prove that I'm a man |
|
Gonna run away |
|
Be the best I know I can |
|
Got to run away |
|
Got to find my space and time |
|
And I cannot rest a day until I make her mine |
|
Got to run away |
|
Got to find my space and time |
|
And I cannot rest a day until I make her mine |
