Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've seen the world, been to many places

Made lots of friends, many different races

I've had such fun around the world, it's true

African skies with a Nairobi mood

I feel asleep in Tuscany

And dreamed

The one thing missing was you

[Verse 2]

Runaway with me my love

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Runaway with me my love

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]

I woke up with an Australian breeze

And danced the dance with Aborigines

Under the moon glow down in Mexico

I dreamed

The one thing missing was you

[Verse 4]

Runaway with me my love

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Runaway with me my love

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 5]

We'll sail the waters of many colors

We won't need a compass, love can guide our way

Don't need nobody, as long as we got each other

No need to hurry, we've got everyday

[Verse 6]

I wanna share the world with you, you see

Spring time in Paris feels so good to me

Oh, this is for me reality

So please, make all my wishes come true

[Verse 7]

Runaway with me my love

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And i just know we'll have a good time

And i just know we'll have a good time

And i just know we'll have a good time

And i just know we'll have a good time

And i just know we'll have a good time

And i just know we'll have a good time
