He built this wall around himself
Many years ago
To protect himself from being hurt again
But he couldn' t stop his feelings
Last night yeah
When he saw the young lady in the bar
Blonde hair, blue eyes
Waited till the band played the last song
And took her home
His mother didn' t like her
His father didn' t like her
The only thing that kept them
Going was knowing that
Love would conquer all

Chorus:
They were lovers
In a dangerous time

They ran away to another country
'Cause they thought things would be
Better for them out there
In the month of December
They got married in Chicago
And it was all the same
Everywhere they went
Heads would turn
Chorus till fade
