The One That Got Away
The one that got away is the boy I adoreNo matter what they say, I’ll be his evermoreEach day brings some new face, each one so like anotherBut no arms can replace the arms of my true lover
The one… the one that got away was my first love and lastAnd though my lips may stray, my heart beats in the pastFor no lips can repeat the thrill his kisses brought meThose memories bittersweet of happiness he taught me
The one… the one that got away, the one man in my lifeThe man I hoped would say: “Come to me, be my light”But darling, come what may, I’ll just keep on pretendingThat one bright sunny day, I’ll hear my lover say:“I have come, I’m the one that couldn’t get… get away”
