[Chorus 1]
Baby don't run away from me
Baby don't go
Baby I'm always thinking of you
Baby don't run away from my love, ooh

[Chorus 2]
You brought me everything I've wanted
Lady don't go
How could I ever live without you?
Lady don't run away from my love, ooh

[Verse 1]
Way out there where the ocean is still
A calm reflection in the sea
(In the sea)
Sat alone with the stars and the moon
You turned 'round to me
And love was in your eyes to see
That's when it happened to you and me

[Chorus 1]
Baby don't run away from me
Baby don't go
Baby I'm always thinking of you
Baby don't run away from my love, ooh (run away from my love)

[Verse 2]
Way back then it was easy to see
A calm reflection in the sea
(In the sea)
Sitting still and without any cares
You turned out to be
A lover who was sure of me
That's when it happened to you and me

[Chorus 1]
Baby don't run away from me
Baby don't go
Baby I'm always thinking of you
Baby don't run away from my love, ooh

Baby don't run away from me
Baby don't go
Baby I'm always thinking of you
Baby don't run away from my love, ooh

[Outro]
Run away from my love
(My love)
Run away from my love
(My love)

If George Harrison were merely remembered for his involvement in The Beatles, his legacy would be solidified as one of rock’s greatest names. Along with staging the world’s first benefit concert where major artists performed together for humanitarian relief, introducing pop culture to classical Indian music and gaining three #1 singles as a solo artist, he was also a film producer and an avid gardener.

In 1957, he met a young Paul McCartney on a bus they both took to school. McCartney then introduced him to John Lennon to audition for his skiffle group, the Quarrymen. Lennon originally rejected Harrison as he thought he was too young to be the band, having just turned 15. Harrison eventually impressed Lennon with his guitar skills and was accepted as a member of the group.

During his time with The Beatles, Harrison was the lead guitarist, one of the singers, and contributed many songs such as “Taxman,” “Within You Without You,” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “Here Comes the Sun” and “Something.”
