Kenny Loggins - The One That Got Away Lyrics

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

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
