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
