The One That Got Away lyrics

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”
