The One Who Got Away Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You hear an echo down the canyons outside LA
Swirlin' up and down San Francisco Bay
From upstate New York to downtown USA
Go and find yourself a tavern, buy yourself a beer
Stick around long enough, you're bound to hear
Some fool like me talkin' 'bout the one who got away

[Chorus]
Oh, we all got one in the back of our minds
We're gonna love until the end of time
We keep a part of our hearts reassured
A special place that's just for her
Oh, and don't she get prettier day by day?
The one who got away

[Verse 2]
You know, I've got me a lady, we've made us a life
I've been a good husband, she been a real good wife We're gettin' closer as time goes by
Yeah, but now and then, on a night like tonight
That memory drifts in, comes on just like a light
And here I am, rememberin' what lovin' her was like

[Chorus]
Yeah, we all got one in the back of our minds
We're gonna love until the end of time
We keep a part of our hearts reassured
A special place that's just for her
Oh, and don't she get prettier day by day?
The one who got away
[Outro]
Eyes like heaven, lips a sure good kiss
Oh, I know shouldn't, but I sure do miss
Oh, the one who gets prettier day by day
The one who got away
The one who got away
The one who got away
