The one that got away |
The one that got away is the boy I adore |
No matter what they say, I'll be his evermore |
Each day brings some new face, each one so like another |
But no arms can replace the arms of my true lover |
|
The one... the one that got away was my first love and last |
And though my lips may stray, my heart beats in the past |
For no lips can repeat the thrill his kisses brought me |
Those memories bittersweet of happiness he taught me |
|
The one... the one that got away, the one man in my life |
The man I hoped would say: "Come to me, be my light" |
But darling, come what may, I'll just keep on pretending |
That one bright sunny day, I'll hear my lover say: |
"I have come, I'm the one that couldn't get... get away" |
