She rolled in My little sandy town She spent the summer there A couple houses down Well it was magic in the air When she caught my eye We shared three short months And one long goodbye She was the one that got away The one that wrecked my heart I should've never let her go I should've begged her to stay She was the one that got away Yeah, the one that got away Well she kissed my lips Down on Ocean Drive She set my world on fire On the fourth of July We wrote our names in the sand Under the star-soaked sky But it washed away like she did With the rising tide She was the one that got away The one that wrecked my heart I should've never let her go I should've begged her to stay She was the one that got away Every summer that rolls around I'm looking over my shoulder Wishing I could see her face Wishing I could hold her She was the one that got away The one that wrecked my heart I should've never let her go I should've begged her to stay She was the one that got away Yeah, she was the one that got away The one that wrecked my heart I should've never let her go I should've begged her to stay She was the one that got away She was the one that got away She rolled in My little sandy town She spent the summer there A couple houses down

Well, the gigolo's jumpin' salty Ain't no trade out on the streets Half past the unlucky And the hawk's a front row seat Dressed in full orchestration Stage door Johnny's got to pay And sent him home Talking 'bout the one that got away Well, could've been on Easy Street Could've been a wheel With irons in the fire And all them business deals But the last of the big time losers Shouted before he drove away I'll be right back as soon as I crack The one that got away The ambulance drivers, they don't give a shit They just want to get off work And the short stop And the victim already gone berserk And the shroud tailor measures him For a deep six holiday The stiff is froze, the case is closed On the one that got away Now Jim Crow's directing traffic With them cemetery blues With them peculiar looking trousers Them old Italian shoes And a wooden kimono was all ready To drop in San Francisco Bay But he's mumbling something All about the one that got away Costello was the champion At the St.Moritz Hotel And the best this side of Fairfax Reliable sources tell But his reputation is at large And he's at Ben Frank's every day Waiting for the one that got away He's got a snake skin sport shirt And he looks like Vincent Price With a little piece of chicken And he's carving off a slice But someone tipped her off She'll be doing a Houdini now any day She shook his hustle A Greyhound bus'll take the one that got away Andre is at the piano Behind the Ivar in the sewers With a buck a shot for pop tunes And a fin for guided tours He could've been in Casablanca He stood in line out there all day Now he's spilling whiskey And learning songs about the one that got away Well, I've lost my equilibrium And my car keys and my pride The tattoo parlor's warm And so I hustle there inside And the grinding of the buzz-saw "What you want that thing to say?" I say, "Just don't misspell her name Buddy, she's the one that got away"

Heart beats fast Colors and promises How to be brave? How can I love when I'm Afraid to fall? But watching you stand alone All of my doubt Suddenly goes away somehow One step closer I have died every day waiting for you Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more Time stands still Beauty in all she is I will be brave I will not let anything Take away What's standing in front of me Every breath Every hour has come to this One step closer I have died every day waiting for you Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more And all along I believed I would find you Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more One step closer I have died every day waiting for you Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more And all along I believed I would find you Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more

Lately, I've been, I've been thinking I want you to be happier When the morning comes When we see what we've become In the cold light of day we're a flame in the wind Not the fire that we've begun Every argument, every word we can't take back 'Cause with all that has happened I think that we both know the way that this story ends Then only for a minute I want to change my mind 'Cause this just don't feel right to me I wanna raise your spirits I want to see you smile, but Know that means I'll have to leave Lately, I've been, I've been thinking I want you to be happier When the evening falls And I'm left there with my thoughts And the image of you being with someone else Well, it's eating me up inside But we ran our course, we pretended we're okay Now, if we jump together at least we Can swing far away from this wreck we made Then only for a minute I want to change my mind 'Cause this just don't feel right to me I wanna raise your spirits I want to see you smile, but Know that means I'll have to leave Lately, I've been, I've been thinking I want you to be happier Even though I might not like this I know that you'll be happier I want you to be happier So I'll go, I'll go I'll go, go So I'll go, I'll go I'll go, go Lately, I've been, I've been thinking I want you to be happier

You were the shadow to my light Did you feel us Another start You fade away Afraid our aim is out of sight Wanna see us Alive Where are you now Where are you now Where are you now Was it all in my fantasy Where are you now Were you only imaginary Where are you now Atlantis Under the sea Under the sea Where are you now Another dream The monsters running wild inside of me I'm faded I'm faded So lost I'm faded These shallow waters, never met What I needed I'm letting go A deeper dive Eternal silence of the sea I'm breathing Alive Where are you now Where are you now Under the bright But faded lights You set my heart on fire Where are you now Where are you now Where are you now Atlantis Under the sea Under the sea Where are you now Another dream The monsters running wild inside of me I'm faded I'm faded So lost I'm faded I'm faded So lost I'm faded
