Lyrics
I know that when you look at me
There's so much that you just don't see
But if you would only take the time
I know in my heart you'd find
A girl who's scared sometimes
Who isn't always strong
Can't you see the hurt in me?
I feel so all alone
I wanna run to you (oooh)
I wanna run to you (oooh)
Won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm
I want to run to you (oooh)
But if I come to you (oooh)
Tell me, will you stay or will you run away
Each day, each day I play the role
Of someone always in control
But at night I come home and turn the key
There's nobody there, no one cares for me
What's the sense of trying hard to find your dreams
Without someone to share it with
Tell me what does it mean?
I wanna run to you (oooh)
I wanna run to you (oooh)
Won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm
I want to run to you (oooh)
But if I come to you (oooh)
Tell me, will you stay or will you run away
I need you here
I need you here to wipe away my tears
To kiss away my fears
If you only knew how much
I wanna run to you (oooh)
I wanna run to you (oooh)
Won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm
I want to run to you (oooh)
But if I come to you (oooh)
Tell me, will you stay or will you run away

"Run to You" is a song performed by Whitney Houston and is the fourth single released from The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album.

"Run to You" was written by Jud Friedman (ru) and Allan Rich. Originally intended to be a break-up song, it was approved by the production and stars. However, a month later, the director of The Bodyguard (Mick Jackson) called, saying he liked the song so much, but he'd rather have it to be a love song so the entire song was rewritten, except for the title.

All of the previous releases from The Bodyguard had been successes, landing in the top five. "Run to You" became a moderate hit, peaking at number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100. In the US, it spent six weeks inside the top 40, five of which were spent at the number 31 peak. Airplay and singles sales topped out at number 26 and 41, respectively. The single sales stalled at number 41 on the Hot 100 Singles Sales chart, most likely due to the fact its parent album, The Bodyguard, already was certified 8× platinum and nearing 9× platinum status quickly. Single sales were moderate because most consumers already owned the song by simply owning the album.

On other Billboard charts, the song was moderately well received. On the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, it reached a peak position of number 31. The song cracked the top 10 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart, peaking at number 10.

Internationally, it was not as well received, except in the UK and Ireland, peaking at number 15 and number 9, respectively.

"Run to You" and its soundtrack-mate "I Have Nothing" were nominated for a 1993 Academy Award for Best Original Song, but they lost to "A Whole New World" from Aladdin.

The music video for "Run to You" features scenes from The Bodyguard intercut with scenes of an angelic Houston running on clouds.

You’re a lovely, talented singer. I mean anyone that can cover Whitney Houston and Led Zeppelin equally well is crazy talented.

[stevenpokinessr.]

How is this sensational lady not more recognized? Amazing voice. She should easily have 100, 000 subscribers. Your amazing girl!

[MzKrystalPaul]

I'm not an emotional person but you made me cry because you were so good!!

[limpengchin]

Alyona this name maybe i not knowing her fame that much but i can say her voice covered more than anybody fame, i supposed.so so mesmerizing and sensational to flow into your voice especially.felt in love with your sensational voice, truly, deeply and madly.

[marciagomyde]

Spectacular 👏👏👏👏👏👏 You sing divinely 🤩 Listening to you in 2023

[jbtorrijos]

For one who can cover from Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Beyoncé and Whitney Houston, this should be one for the books. I think I found the perfect singer. Now, I can rest.

[sksbc]

Why are you not famous worldwide? Such a beautiful voice! Someone send this to Clive Davis please...!

[NiteOwl]

Alyona captures not just the notes and tone of the song, but something more ethereal as well. This girl has got it 100% and wow is she ever easy on the eyes! A real BEAUTY.

[jazura]

I never cried listening to Whitney sing this. This version is more emotional🤒

[labarbara]

Hi, your Aly art chanel bring me there. And my god! Your cover is just perfect, I could not find any fail in whole song. Why are you not famous in Russia, when you are so perfect singer? Don´t understand. You are beautiful, clever, so talented. . I really don´t understand this business, when someone like nicky minaj or taylor swift is so popular. You have so many qualities and nothing? Greetings from czech republic :)

[haldianarsenta]

when I showed this video to my wife, she cried because she was touched ... and all the memories of our love blossomed again.
thank you ... love you Alyona ....

[danallen]

I once again have to thank Sina Drums and her Dad for introducing me to yet another amazing talented singer/artist! You have such a gorgeous voice, and I love the little growl that you have going on, it’s very subtle in this song but comes out in a Zeppelin song! I have certainly become a new fan of yours Alyona! Oh, and it doesn’t hurt that bloody gorgeous as well! Lol

[thelastime]

Oh my God! What a performance! With this performance, you are equal to Glennis Grace, probably the greatest Whitney Houston tribute artist that has ever lived. And now there is Alyona, also the greatest. You need to do Reflection by Christina Aguilera, and audition for any singing show with that song; The Voice, America's Got Talent, any show. Just get on TV.

[angelsmusic]

Alyona I am from canada and your N 1 fan and I love you, thanks for sharing your voice and talent with us ( the World) !!!

[jamilgotcher]

Omg, it must be so fabulous to be able to sing like Whitney! Excellent! I found you through the body type videos first.

[laramm]

I know that when you look at me
There's so much that you just don't see
But if you would only take the time
I know in my heart you'd find
Oh, a girl that's scared sometimes
Who isn't always strong
Can't you see the hurt in me
I feel so all alone

I wanna run to you
I wanna run to you
Won't ya hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm?
I wanna run to you
But if I come to you
Tell me will you stay
Or will you run away

Each day, each day I play the role
Of someone always in control
But at night I come home and turn the key
There's nobody there, no one cares for me
Oh, woah, what's the sense of trying hard
To find your dreams
Without someone to share them with
Tell me what does it mean

I wanna run to you
I wanna run to you
Won't ya hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm
I wanna run to you
But if I come to you
Tell me will you stay
Or will you run away

Run away, no
I need you here, I need you here
To wipe away my tears
To kiss away my fears
No, if you only knew how much
I wanna run to you
You know I wanna run to you
Won't ya hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm
I wanna run to you
But if I come to you
Tell me will you stay
Or will you run away

[CRAIGVY]

[silverman]

휘트니가 구가하던 거의 모든 테크닉을 그대로 할 수 있는 분이네요. 엄청 섬세합니다. 놀라운 재능과 노력에 찬사를 보냅니다.

[Tommys]

Some girls are so gorgeous you literally drop what your doing and stare. Some girls sing and you hear angels singing, and you drop what your doing and listen. Then there are girls such as yourself, who posses both, and you prove all the above is true. I am so glad I found you here, and I love listening to every song of yours!

[tatusha]

Алёна! Бесподобно поёте! Я - сама вокалиска, и очень впечатлена вашим владением голосом, эмоциональностью и тонкостью исполнения. Хочется увидеть вас на большой эстраде. Успехов!!
