Run and
Tell

Thomas Riley Smith c.2022

If I live three hundred sixty five
times one hundred days,
no wish could be greater than
the prayer that was answered.
And I think by now I
know something about love.
I know, that all I need is you.
All I need is you.

So girl run and tell,
tell anyone you want
about everything we've got, cause
it ain't going anywhere this love.
It ain't going anywhere this love.
it ain't going anywhere this love

Ah run and tell,
but they already know,
I think by now it shows,
that it's not going anywhere,
it ain't going anywhere this love.
Girl if fame and fortune finally
find their way to our door,
no wish could be greater than
the prayer that's been answered.
And I think by now you know
everything I need.
You know that all I need is you,
all I need is you.

So girl run and tell,
tell anyone you want
about everything we've got,
‘cause it ain't going anywhere,
it ain't going anywhere this love,
it ain't going anywhere this love.

Ah girl run and tell,
cause they already know.
I think by now it shows
that it ain't going anywhere,
it ain't going anywhere this love.

If I live three hundred sixty five
times one hundred days times two,
No wish could be greater
than the prayer that was answered,
when I prayed for you.
And I know by now
you're everything I need.
Girl I know, that all I need is you,
girl all I need is you.

So run and tell,
tell anyone you want
about everything we've got,
‘cause it ain't going anywhere,
it ain't going anywhere this love,
it ain't going anywhere this love.

Ah girl run and tell,
but they already know,
I think by now it shows
that it ain't going anywhere,
it ain't going anywhere this love,
it ain't going anywhere this love.

Run and tell.
Run run run run run run
run and tell.

It ain't going anywhere
this love. It ain't going anywhere this love.

Time will tell on you and I.
New paint fades, bouquets dry.
Structures crumble
and nobody asks why.
isn't it time to start
thinking about forever?

Lies collapse, truth survives.
This life is more than just a
Coney Island
roller coaster ride.
Seasons change,
from dark to light,
but, somewhere in between
we've got to realize,
It’s just wrong or right.

One love was meant to last.
It doesn't rust, and
it doesn't crack.
It doesn't run and
it won't grow cold.
It won't be bought,
and it can't be sold.
Isn't it time to start
thinking about forever?

Wisdom feels, but
faith it knows.
Hand in hand,
they both will grow.
What's the rumble,
who moved the clouds?
Who's the voice
crying out loud, saying,

isn’t it time to start
thinking about,
isn't it time to start
thinking about forever

Lies collapse, truth survives.
This life is more than just
a Coney Island
roller coaster ride
Seasons change
from dark to light,
but somewhere in between
we've got to realize,
it’s just wrong and right.

One love was meant to last,
It doesn't rust,
and it doesn't crack.
It doesn't run and
it won't grow cold.
It won't be bought and
it can't be sold.

Isn’t it time to
start thinking about,
isn't it time to start
thinking about forever?

Isn’t it time to start
thinking about?
Isn’t it time to start
thinking about?
Isn't it time to start
thinking about forever?

When was the last time you
thought about forever?
