The song is in Ab and the runs are a G locrian mode, or an Ab major scale that starts on G. This mode works wiith the Ab major 7 chord that is the harmonic background. This is a common device in "romantic" music of this kind. Play the Ab maj 7 and play a single note "Ab" with it, it doesn't sound good. Now play the chord again and play a "G".  Sounds fine now. This is why we use locrian mode when improvising with major 7th chords. Works with all major 7th chords, try it with "Misty" .
