Some drinks and [C]then a [Bb]rose then plans to [F]meet a[C]gain
[F]He wrote her poems, [C]songs, and[Dm] prose
She knew that [C]he'd pro[Bb]pose she only [F]wondered [C]when

He kneeled on both [Bb]knees and [F]this is what he [C]said
[F]I may not be [Bb]wise [C]and [Dm]I won't [C]save the [Bb]day
[F]But look in my [Bb]eyes and [C]know I'll [Dm]always [C]stay
And [Bbm]I won't run a[F]way [Bbm]I won't run a[F]way
[F]Some years went by, they [C]had a [Dm]child
He was funny, [C]strange, and[Bb] mild their love for[F] him ran [C]deep
[F]Some nights, his dreams would [C]drive him[Dm] wild
So into[C] bed, she [Bb]piled To [F]help him fall [C]asleep
[Dm]One night, before they [C]went to [F]bed
He kneeled on both [Bb]knees and [F]this is what he [C]said
[F]I may not be [Bb]wise [C]and [Dm]I won't [C]save the [Bb]day
[F]But look in my [Bb]eyes and [C]know I'll [Dm]always [C]stay
And [Bbm]I won't run a[F]way [Bbm]I won't run a[F]way

[F]But I hope now you can [Dm]see
What my mom and dad showed [Bb]me I'm not going any[C]where
[Dm]I love you more and more each [F]day
To love is not to [Bb]leave so [F]hear me when I [C]say
[F]I may not be [Bb]wise [C]and [Dm]I won't [C]save the [Bb]day
[F]But look in my [Bb]eyes and [C]know I'll [Dm]always [C]stay
And [Bbm]I won't run a[F]way [Bbm]I won't run a[F]way
