ONE THAT GOT AWAY
(Jim Reeves / Buddy Killen)

Jim Reeves - 1962



 
Out with someone new almost ev'ry 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 thinkin' 'bout the one that got away

(Instrumental Break)

If we chance to meet on some lonely street
And I pass you by without a word to say
I'm just thinkin' 'bout the one that got away
