When We Ran Lyrics - Linda Ronstadt

Could have been the kiss of my life 

Could have been the death of me 

Coulda been that I was just too scared 

To wait around and see 

You coulda been a guardian angel 

I coulda been the wicked one 

Besides the buttons on our shirts 

What else did we leave undone 

When we ran 

When we ran 

When we ran 

Was it just the time slipping through our hands 

Right through our hands

Maybe I was trying to tell you 

I've never known a love so strong 

Maybe in the shadows of the night 

We just couldn't tell right from wrong 

Maybe it's a real life story 

Living with a sad regret 

Maybe you were just a sweet dream baby 

Something that I'll never forget 

When we ran 

When we ran 

When we ran 

Was it just the time slipping through our hands 

You only had to say the words 

I would have turned around and heard 

But as it is we can't look back 

Photos 

The mind is just a loose cannon baby 

And the memories are rolling dice 

We found something one time baby 

But we thought about it twice 

And we ran 

And we ran 

And we ran 

And we ran 

And we ran 

And we ran
