The One Who Got Away - John Schneider

You hear an echo down the canyons outside LA

Swirlin' up and down San Francisco Bay

From upstate New York to downtown USA

Go and find yourself a tavern, buy yourself a beer

Stick around long enough, you’re bound to hear

Some fool like me talkin' 'bout the one who got away

Oh, we all got one in the back of our minds

We’re gonna love until the end of time

We keep a part of our hearts reassured

A special place that’s just for her

Oh, and don’t she get prettier day by day?

The one who got away

You know, I’ve got me a lady, we’ve made us a life

I’ve been a good husband, she been a real good wife

We’re gettin' closer as time goes by

Yeah, but now and then, on a night like tonight

That memory drifts in, comes on just like a light

And here I am, rememberin' what lovin' her was like

Yeah, we all got one in the back of our minds

We’re gonna love until the end of time

We keep a part of our hearts reassured

A special place that’s just for her

Oh, and don’t she get prettier day by day?

The one who got away

Eyes like heaven, lips a sure good kiss

Oh, I know shouldn’t, but I sure do miss

Oh, the one who gets prettier day by day

The one who got away

The one who got away

The one who got away
