Lyrics

(Del Shannon/Max Crook)

As I walk along I wonder

What went wrong with our love

A love so rare and strong

And as I walk along I think of

The times we had together

While our hearts were young


I`m a walkin` in the rain

Tears are fallin`and feel the pain

Wishin` you were here by me

To end this misery and I wonder

I wa wa wa wonder

Why, why why why why why she ran away

And I wonder where she will stay

My little runaway, a run run run run runaway

I`m walkin` in the rain

Tears are fallin` and I feel the pain

Wishin` you were here by me

To end this misery and I wonder

I wa wa wa wonder

Why, why why why why why she ran away

And I wonder where she will stay

My little runaway, a run run run run runaway
