🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
As I walk along, I wonderWhat went wrong with our loveA love that was so strongAnd as I still walk by, I think ofThe times we’ve had togetherWhile our hearts were youngI’m a-walking in the rainTears is falling and I feel the painWishing you were here by meTo end this miseryAnd I wonder(I, I, I, I wonder) yeah, babyWhy (why? Why? Why? Why? Why?)You went awayAnd I wonder where you will stayMy little runawayRun, run, run, run, runaway (play it, James)I’m a-walking in the rainTears is falling and I feel the painWishing you were here by meTo end this misery
