Lyrics

I’ll be your light, your match, your burn in’ sun.

I’ll be the bright in black that’s mak in’ you run.

And we’ll feel al right and we’ll feel al right ’cause we’ll work it out, yeah, we’ll work it out.

I’ll be do in’ this, if you have a doubt, ’til the love runs out, ’til the love runs out.

I’ll be your ghost, your game, your sta di um.

I’ll be your fif ty thou sand clap ping like one.

And I feel al right and I feel al right ’cause I worked it out, yeah, I worked it out.

I’ll be do in’ this, if you have a doubt, ’til the love runs out, ’til the love runs out.

I’ll be your runs out.

I got my mind made up.

Man, I can’t let go.

I’m kill in’ ev ’ry sec ond ’til it saves my soul.

Ooh, I’ll be run nin’, ooh, I’ll be run nin’ ’til the love runs out, ’til the love runs out.

And we’ll start a fire and we’ll shut it down ’til the love runs out, ’til the love runs out.

I’ll be your light, your match, your burn in’ sun.

I’ll be the bright in black that’s mak in’ you run.

And we’ll feel al right and we’ll feel al right ’cause we’ll work it out, yeah, we’ll work it out.

And we’ll start a fire and we’ll shut it down ’til the love runs out, ’til the love runs out, ’til the love

runs out.

About “Love Runs Out”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Love Runs Out"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature D. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Love Runs Out" by John Thompson played in?
Love Runs Out is arranged in the key of D on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.

Try "Artist's Life", "Dark Eyes", "Deep River". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Love Runs Out" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature D, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 106 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
