Introduction
Imagine a melody so rich in soul it feels like a warm embrace. That’s “I Run To You,” a duet by the legendary Marty Stuart and his equally iconic wife, Connie Smith. This isn’t just another love song; it’s a celebration of the deep, enduring bond between two people who’ve seen and shared a lifetime together. In every note, you can feel the raw honesty that only comes from a love story built over decades—a bond that goes beyond words, transcending the highs and lows of life.
The song is beautifully simple, relying on heartfelt lyrics and the undeniable chemistry between Marty and Connie. Their voices blend in a way that feels intimate, almost as if you’re peeking into a private moment between them. The harmony speaks to the depth of their connection, with Marty’s earthy tone perfectly complementing Connie’s soulful, classic country voice.
And while it may be a ballad about running to someone for comfort and strength, there’s also an undercurrent of gratitude here—a nod to the strength they draw from each other. It’s the kind of song that makes you think about that one person who’s always there, the one who’s seen you at your best and your worst and still chooses to stay.
Listening to “I Run To You” feels like coming home, and perhaps that’s what makes it so special. Marty and Connie don’t just sing about love; they embody it. And in a world where so much feels fleeting, their music is a gentle reminder of the power of staying by someone’s side.

Lyrics
[Chorus]
I run to you when I’m lonely
I run to you when I’m feeling blue
Each step I take leads to you only
When I need love, I run to you
[Verse 1]
This world is sometimes cold and hard to bear
What would I do, sweetheart, if you weren’t there?
When things go wrong and my dreams fall apart
You lift me up, you touch my heart
[Chorus]
I run to you when I’m lonely
I run to you when I’m feeling blue
Each step I take leads to you only
When I need love, I run to you
[Verse 2]
No one else in this world could take your place
I feel the love in your embrace
And I long in my heart for you to feel eternally
My love is real
[Chorus]
I run to you when I’m lonely
I run to you when I’m feeling blue
Each step I take leads to you only
When I need love, I run to you
When I need love, I run to you
