LISTEN: Lena Horne performing Come Runnin' live from the Waldorf Astoria as she sings what is in all of our hearts as we come back to the Waldorf "as fast as we can!"
"Come running, come flying
Come laughing, come crying,
But come back, baby, as fast as you can.
I didn't know, when I let you go,
That I'd miss you so, the next minute.
Get here, baby, as fast as you can!"
