The One that Got Away by Amy Shannon
The eyes that gazes across the room the deep voice that drew me in the heart that kept me memorized
the time that went too fast the fate that slipped by the one that got away
the hand that held my heart the lips that whispered softly the ears that listened intently
the time that went too fast the fate that slipped by the one that got away
the mind that kept wandering the thoughts that keep dreaming the heart that keeps loving
the time that went too fast the fate that slipped by the one that got away
the soul that sang to me The love that surrounds my heart the miles that keep us apart
the time that went too fast the fate that slipped by the one that got away
The other loves the old loves the new loves
the time that went too fast the fate that slipped by the one that got away
