Jim Reeves Lyrics
"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.

--- Instrumental ---

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...
