I knew my lonely heart was sad and blue
I knew that it was yearning for a smile
But how was I to know that one from you
Would start my lonely heart to runnin' wild
Runnin' wild to fairy lands of love clingin' to the sunbeams of your smile
Yet just a little glance from you sweetheart
Would start my lonely heart to runnin' wild
[ steel - guitar ]
I find myself a countin' up the hours till I can be with ou a little while
Then I will hold you in my arms sweetheart
And I'll let my lonely heart go runnin' wild
Runnin' wild to fairy lands of love...
