  • If ever you got rain in your heart
    Someone has hurt you, and torn you apart
    Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?

    And let it be like they said it would be
    Me loving you girl, and you loving me
    Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?

    Run to me whenever you're lonely (to love me)
    Run to me if you need a shoulder
    Now and then, you need someone older
    So darling, you run to me

    And when you're out in the cold
    No one beside you, and no one to hold
    Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?

    And when you've got nothing to lose
    Nothing to pay for, nothing to choose
    Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me

    Run to me whenever you're lonely (to love me)
    Run to me if you need a shoulder
    Now and then you need someone older
    So darling, you run to me

    Run to me whenever you're lonely
    Run to me if you need a shoulder
    Now and then you need someone older
    So darling, you run to me

    Run to me whenever you're lonely
    Run to me if you need a shoulder
    Now and then you need someone older Writer/s: Barry Gibb, Maurice Ernest Gibb, Robin Hugh Gibb
