Once there was a girl I knew and she had the sweetest eyes of blue
And she wanted to hold my hand, she wanted to hold my hand
Once there was a girl I knew and she had the sweetest eyes of blue
And she wanted to hold my hand, she wanted me to be her man
But I was young, I was dumb
And I thought that I would be someone
So I just let her slip away, I let her slip away
But I was young, I was dumb
And I thought that I would be someone
So I just let her slip away, I let her slip away
Spent my lifetime with regret and I still haven't gotten over that girl yet
All my sorrow, all my dismay
Spent my lifetime with regret and I still haven't gotten over that girl yet
Yea, the one that got away, the one that got away
But I was young, I was dumb
And I thought that I would be someone
So I just let her slip away, I let her slip away
But I was young, I was dumb
And I thought that I would be someone
So I just let her slip away, I let her slip away
Once there was a girl I knew
Once there was a girl I knew
Once there was a girl I knew and she had the sweetest eyes of blue
And she wanted to hold my hand, she wanted to hold my hand
When I was young
