Oh god. Just imagine Phoebus singing this to Esmeralda...😓😓😲 all the many versions of this song always manage to break my heart and simultaneously put it back together...
That part when you said "I'm in love with you"... That smile killed me right there and then. Yes, I will run away with you. You don't have to ask twice.
Let me catch my breath This is really hard If I start to look like I’m sweating Well that’s ‘cause I am I’m not good with words But that’s nothing new Still I have to try to explain what I want to do With you, with you Runaway with me Let me be your ride out of town Let me be the place that you hide We can make our lives on the go Runaway with me Texas in the summer is cool We’ll be on the road like Jack Kerouac Looking back Get ready let’s go Anywhere Get the car packed and throw me the key Run away with me I know this is fast I’m in love with you Call it crazy but I’m much crazier for you I have these plans, Sam I have these plans Of a house that well build on a bay when we run away Let me be your ride out of town Let me be the place that you hide We can make our lives on the road Run away with me Alabama heat sign me up We’ll be on the road like some country song Won’t be long Get ready let’s go Anywhere Get the car packed and throw me the key Runaway with me I’m not trying to make you a wife here I’m not trying to tie you down I’m just saying there might be a life here A new one as soon as we run Just as soon as we run Run away Let me be your ride out of town Let me be the place that you hide We can make our lives on the road Run away with me Mississippi mud watch me slide We’ll be on the road like Jack Kerouac Looking back Sam you’re ready, Sam Let me be your ride Run away with me California dreams here we come Romeo is calling for Juliet Ready set Sam you’re ready let’s go Anywhere Say the word and I’m already there Runaway with me
......shhhhhhh No one asked for a critique of the composition structure Composers insert key changes for a purpose - nor do they need to explain/justify to you
