One That Got Away

It's been years since we spoken
Most things hadn't changed at all
Our youth had started to dwindle 
But her beauty It could not fall

Back the we had big dreams
Though the we could change 
I laugh when think about them 
They are optimistic and strange

The one dream I had back then 
The one I wished had come true 
Was to be in love and stay forever
I wanted to spend my life loving you

To this day you will always be
That one lover that got away
And as I look at you right now
You're just as beautiful today
