Running Through The Night (L. Ransford)

Hollies · Other Songs - Hollies

I've been runnin' through the night

Tryin' to reach and hold you tight

I've been wonderin' just why you stayed away



But when I reached your home

I found out that you had gone

I found out someone had taken you away



Ever since the day I cared, all my dreams we've shared

And my love for you grown stronger every day

And now you've said goodbye, all I do is cry

I've been wonderin' just why you went away



Ever since the day I cared, all my dreams we've shared

And my love for you grown stronger every day

And now you've said goodbye, all I do is cry

I've been wonderin' just why you went away



Won't you come on back to my side?

Please, oh, please, don't hurt my pride

Tryin' to get along without you ain't so good



And if you play along, I will say that I was wrong

'Cause my love for you grows stronger like it should

'Cause my love for you grows stronger like it should
