Story Behind The Song
A person who runs in the park regularly always sees another (particular) person doing the same thing and fantasises about what they'd do if they ever got to know each other. Moods listed on drop-down menu don't describe this well enough so did not pick any - required 'imaginative' or similar.

Lyrics
RUNNING ROUND THE PARK
Words: Jane Lockyer Willis

CHORUS:
Running round the park now,
Running round the park now,
Every day same time each day,
See you running too.
Your tracksuit flashing past my eyes,
Blonde hair flying out behind you.
1
Running through the park beside you,
That is what I'd like to do too.
Fantasise - oh wishing - thinking
I would love to run with you.
I would love to run with you.
2
I dream of rainstorms, thundery skies,
Us sheltering under a red oak tree,
Getting to know - to like each other,
Savouring the moment, you and me.
Savouring the moment, you and me.
REPEAT CHORUS
3
We'd arrange to meet for something to eat,
Change out of our running gear.
Find a restaurant where the lights are dim
And full of romantic atmosphere,
Full of romantic atmosphere.
4
But round I run, like the inner circle train.
The sun bears down and the skies are blue.
As the red oak tree keeps my secret safe,
I'll wait for the rain to get to know you.
I'll wait for the rain to get to know you.
REPEAT CHORUS, LAST TWO LINES THREE TIMES
