Dion - Runaway Lyrics






As I walk along I wonder a-what went wrong
With our love, a love that was so strong
And as I still walk on, I think of the things we've done
Together, a-while our hearts were young

I'm a-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-wa-wonder
Why
Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway

[Musitron solo]

I'm a-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-wa-wonder
Why
Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway
A-run-run-run-run-runaway

Dion Runaway Comments
  1. g.... C....

    Great song and artistic video

  2. B.... L....

    Never heard this version before...
    I LOVE it !

  3. P.... J....

    Dels has an urgency and burn. It had the sound that opened the 60s. Later day recreations just don’t. Otherwise this would be tops.Great photos. Third man effect.

  4. G.... D....

    Dion . the man is simply a vocal genius ! Del is smiling . we are smiling . it just does not get better than this !

    G.... D....

    Double Ditto..!

  5. C.... ....

    This deserves more love

  6. H.... A....

    Shanon is better in vocals, but Dion is better in instrumentation.

  7. j.... s....

    Bonnie, I agree with Tyrance5, We will even say another version isn't as good then find out it was done by the writer. I think sometimes it's who you hear first.It's not better or worse , it's different

  8. J.... W....

    Dion sure can sing anything!

  9. S.... ....

    Ótima versão!

  10. G.... ....

    There were two different versions of this classic recorded by Dion. This one, by far the best and absolutely nailed. Happy birthday Dion!

  11. b.... Z....

    just as good as del ----

  12. b.... Z....

    THIS GUY IS AWESOME

  13. b.... Z....

    JUST GREAT

  14. G.... H....

    Still going strong at 70 plus

    G.... H....

    He's The Man..!

  15. C.... C....

    Pretty sure about 10k of the views are from me.😅 I always have this on repeat.❤️ Love you forever Dion.❤️❤️

  16. E.... K....

    This song is not Dion’s

    E.... K....

    LISTEN YOU STUPID IGNORANT FUCK - IT'S DION..!

  17. D.... V....

    Awesome version, Dion, Italian, made in the Bronx !

  18. M.... ....

    haha, this is beautiful and nostalgic!

  19. P.... J....

    2 great talents. Dont know if Del ever did Dion but all his covers were top drawer

    P.... J....

    Del did "Runaround Sue"and maybe some others.

  20. L.... t....

    The 1st solo, is that a clavioline?

  21. b.... m....

    Del Shannon's version is way better imo, but this version is growing on me.

  22. l.... ....

    Nice tribute to Del Shannon from Dion

  23. Z.... F....

    beautiful cover

  24. D.... T....

    Dinosaurs..... really.. check it out.

  25. F.... B....

    Dion's cover of "Runaway" and Del Shannon's version of "Runaround Sue" have basically made the musical universe fall in on itself...
    And I love EVERY minute of it. Well done!

  26. J.... G....

    Voice is so much better

    J.... G....

    Jaden Zdynasty74 you mean better than Del's or Dion's younger voice?

  27. T.... ....

    Everyone thinks there music is superior then others stop crying about it everyone has there own taste

  28. C.... c....

    real music real class..

  29. S.... B....

    That a-minor opening is the best phrase in RnR, ever.

  30. L.... ....

    Love, Love, Love. Great cover! Since I've found this, I'm playing this at least 20 times (or more) a day. Did I say I LOVE this?!?!

  31. G.... ....

    Awesome cover - one of two Dion versions going about of this great Del Shannon classic.

  32. T.... ....

    Superb.   T.Y. for posting.

  33. L.... W....

    Oh man! Great song and now Dion..

  34. J.... l....

    Excellent rendition! Beautiful! makes me hate rap even more!

    J.... l....

    Jack leone hello new bff

    J.... l....

    but Pouya kicks ass

    J.... l....

    Yeah me too

  35. w.... ....

    DEL Would be so happy

    w.... ....

    wolfmanrick del would be jealous I would imagine as u listen to this song from del then listen to dions it’s well better not as boring and the guitar is cool 🙂

  36. B.... T....

    how come this aint got millions of hits

    B.... T....

    Because half the morons today like rap!

    B.... T....

    Good question

  37. K.... R....

    Had never heard this version before - surprisingly nearly as good as the Del Shannon original - thanks for he upload!

  38. D.... S....

    Timeless Dion! And great photos! Well done mix!

  39. w.... ....

    ROCK on brother Dion.Icon

  40. T.... B....

    Never thought anyone could successfully cover Del Shannon's version of "Runaway"...but Dion sure does it here!

  41. t.... ....

    Love it :)

  42. B.... P....

    Dion did this song Better than Del Shannon.

    B.... P....

    Not really. And I'm a fan of Dion . . .

    B.... P....

    Le toubib
    I agree.

    B.... P....

    Yeah absolutely no way. Dion is great, so is Del Shannon. Perhaps if Dion had recorded it around the same time, but this is pretty recent sounding

    B.... P....

    @Will Adapter I agree with you. Both versions are wonderful to listen to. It doesn't matter to me whose is better. I like Del's raw voice better in his recording, but Dion has nothing to apologize for. He does covers better than anyone.

  43. J.... S....

    Super 👍

  44. b.... ....

    Boy, this is one of my favourite songs by Del Shannon, but this version by Dion blows me away....

    b.... ....

    Yes. In my opinion all are great but this...

  45. m.... t....

    Dion sings better in his 70's than most young artists can today! Few can do a "remake" and do it better - Dion does. Listen to his remake of Donna as another example.

    m.... t....

    +marshall thompson Ditto BABY Ditto...

    m.... t....

    without the auto tune and high tech garbage. today's music is almost always soulless

    m.... t....

    I agree 100%. His cover of Donna, in all respect to Ritchie, was better

    m.... t....

    marshall thompson another amazing song dion does an amazing cover on is dream lover

  46. D.... M....

    Non, ce n'est pas Dion qui chante mais je crois, Del Shannon !

    D.... M....

    +Dominique Maurel C'est bien Dion qui chante, et Del Shannon n'a absolument pas la même voix...

    D.... M....

    the singer of this song is dion but when he was to old.

  47. M.... B....

    My absolutely favorite song.

  48. r.... s....

    The one person who gave a dislike . You can go to hell

    r.... s....

    rudy s 14

  49. j.... p....

    Dang this song making me feel that type way about the girl I lost but I can't fine any more

  50. r.... s....

    I love this song his music is art.

  51. M.... ....

    Great Music

  52. B.... H....

    Chris Spencer, this obviously is Dion singing this song. I'm 15 years old and I've been listening to Dion (with or without the Belmonts) since I was a little kid. I know what Dion sounds like. He did a great remake of Del Shannon's "Runaway". Kind of sad I'm a teenager and I know more about him than you do Chris. Lol.

    B.... H....

    Yea, back when people actually had unique singing voices.

    B.... H....

    Nowadays they all sound the same.

    B.... H....

    *+Coach Dave* _"[...] since you were a little kid"...so for about two years"_
    Maybe? For example *my* parents loved to hear Rock 'n' Roll...

  53. C.... S....

    this is not Dion singing

    C.... S....

    Of course it's Dion. You can tell it's his voice. But...but...I wouldn't go so far to say he did this particular song better than Del Shannon.

    C.... S....

    elvis did it best

    C.... S....

    on the masters album

    C.... S....

    rockhard love your comment 😁

    C.... S....

  55. T.... ....

  56. f.... ....

    DUDE!   Wonder why so few hits ....sheesh!

    f.... ....

  57. J.... B....

    *** "C'est GLAUQUE !!! Si GLAUQUE !!!" ^)^

  58. �.... S....

    Genial.

  63. j.... ....

    What are these pictures from? I love them and the song!

  64. J.... J....

    Forgot to mention, nice video! Enjoyed!

  65. J.... J....

    Probably the greatest singer-songwriter within his field of music! I am amazed of this cover song! I do think Mr. DEL SHANNON would approve! CHA. CHA. CHA. On the ending! THANKS!!

    J.... J....

    i'd have to say he's the greatest in all of music, except for maybe Frank Sinatra

  66. R.... W....

    I hate to say it but I agree...or at least as much as Del's...

  67. R.... W....

    Best in the business!!! DION --- DUDE!!!

  68. I.... ....

    WOW!!! Dion out did himself on this one. Absolutely fantastic. I like this better than Del's original.

  69. 1.... ....

    I believe this is Dion most recent CD. For a guy who is into his 70's I would say this is pretty darn good. Dion is a classic rocker and always will be.

  70. b.... ....

    I guess if Del can sing Runaround Sue, then D can sing Runaway...BTW love both covers...

  71. V.... B....

    Ridiculous version!
