The One That Got Away

(Jim Reeves - Buddy Killen)



Out with someone new,

Almost every day

People look at me

I can hear them say

He's so lucky he has

Everything going his way.



I can't let them know

That I really don't

I'm not with the one

That I really want

And I'm still in love

With the one that got away.



The one that got away

Took all my love not just a part

The one that got away

Got away with my heart.



If we chance to meet

On some lonely street

And I pass you by

Without a word to say

I'm just thinking

'Bout the one that got away.

If we chance to meet

On some lonely street

And I pass you by

Without a word to say

I'm just thinking

'Bout the one that got away...
