Get Away

[Verse 1] I'm back again, in this town, to find a girl that I used to know I bumped into a friend of mine and she told me where to go She said "go right down to 56th street Make a left at the corner store There will be a house on the alley way" I hope she didn't move away I pray she's still around But somebody came to the door that I didn't know And I knew I had to let her go Is it over? All over? I let a good girl get away [Chorus] How could I ever let her get away Today is not a happy day So many words that I had to say Baby I miss you and I need your love How could I ever let her get away Today is not a happy day It could have been our anniversary I'll do anything to have you right here in my arms [Verse 2] Remember when we talked about All the things that we planned to do Our wedding day, a house in the valley And maybe a kid two We could have had it all, but somehow it all fell apart I agree to take the blame, see I'm feeling so ashamed I never should have lied I'll give anything to see your pretty face again To hold you, to be with you, heaven give me one more chance [Chorus] How could I ever let her get away Today is not a happy day So many words that I had to say Baby I miss you and I need your love How could I ever let her get away Today is not a happy day It could have been our anniversary I'll do anything to have you right here in my arms [Bridge] If only it were possible for me to turn back the hands of time I'd do anything, I'll give anything just to make her mine I can't live without your lovin' baby, I can't go on another day Where did she go? I gotta know I let a good girl get away, get away, get away [Chorus] How could I ever let her get away Today is not a happy day So many words that I had to say Baby I miss you and I need your love How could I ever let her get away Today is not a happy day It could have been our anniversary I'll do anything to have you right here in my arms
