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" |
