The One That Got Away Lyrics - Kenny Loggins

You were the quiet one 

Afraid to sleep alone 

Heaven knows, I was lonely too 

Some things in life a man 

Can't learn to live without 

One of those things was you 

Who the good guys are 

Who the bad guys are 

Isn't always clear 

In this world of separate houses 

Someone's always missing someone 

Day after day 

And year after year

Though you and I are distant 

Don't ever think I didn't want you 

Or miss you every day 

No matter where life takes you 

Know that I'll still be waiting patiently 

For the day that you've forgiven me 

My son 

The One That Got Away 

It's all of the little things 

That add up to a life 

'N it's been so hard 

Being outside looking in 

You had hundreds of first times 

I didn't get to see 

That will never come again 

Photos 

How do we catch up 

Is there just too much 

Stolen history 

In this world of separate houses 

I want you to remember 

That you'll always be 

Inside of me 

Though you and I are distant 

Don't ever think I didn't want you 

Or miss you every day 

No matter where life takes you 

Know that I'll still be waiting patiently 

For the day that you've forgiven me 

My son 

The One That Got Away 

You're carryin' an anger 

that does not belong to you 

'N I'm sick and tired of doin' time 

For a crime I didn't do 

I miss you every day 

No matter where life takes you 

Know that I'll still be waiting patiently 

'Cause I do believe in you and me 

And I trust that someday 

You'll no longer be 

The One That Got Away
