Lyrics

[Verse 1]
More than the cold winds
Has ever made you cry
Somebody took away that warm glow
That used to be in your eyes
But if you'd let me
Little a little everyday
[Chorus]
Oh, I will
I know
I'll run your hurt away
[Verse 2]
I hold the key
Your faith will open the door
Please let me come on in
To give you something to live for
It won't take much
Just a little
Just a little everyday
[Chorus]
Oh, I will
Oh, I know
I'll run your hurt away
[Bridge]
Oh, let me stop it right now
Before it starts to grow, yeah
Ah, let me take upon myself of your love
And start the sun a glowing
[Verse 3]
You know I, I hold the key
Fate will open the door
Please let me in
And give ya
And give ya something to live for
I know it won't take much
Just a little everyday
[Chorus]
Oh, I will
Oh, I know
I'll run your hurt away
[Outro]
I want you to take me by my little hand
And please let me run your hurt away
You can depend on me, baby
To run your hurt away
Six o'clock in the morning
I just want to run your hurt away
And seven o'clock
I just got to run your hurt away
Early in the morning
