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 coutin' up the aisles till I can be with you 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...
