The One That Got Away

1: There comes a time, when you have to let go.
Release all the emotion waiting to be shown.
Let it go, let your feelings arise,
We could be something beautiful, until the end of time.
But I'm too afraid, to go where I've never gone,
Rather watch the same old sunset than see a brand new dawn.
You said...
C: I want you, I need you, you're the one for me,
And when you are not here I'm like the sand without the sea.
I love you, don't leave me, would you please stay?
I don't want you to be the one that I let get away.
Please stay. Please stay.
2: I think of you often, and of our feelings shared,
Can't forgive myself of always feeling a little scared.
Run baby, run as far as east is west,
Don't stop til your heart is beating out of your chest.
Can't stay here any longer, can't stay anymore,
Can't hold on to something that feels so unsure.
Then you said...
C: I want you, I need you, you're the one for me,
And when you are not here I'm like the sand without the sea.
I love you, don't leave me, would you please stay?
I don't want you to be the one that I let get away.
Please stay. Please stay.
3: Open up your heart, your life has just begun,
Wait for that love whose warmth is like the sun.
You ask me and ask me, time after time,
But I can only get so close before I have to draw the line.
Not trying to hurt you, it's for your own good,
Let's just go our separate ways like I know that we should.
You said...
C: I want you, I need you, you're the one for me,
And when you are not here I'm like the sand without the sea.
I love you, don't leave me, would you please stay?
I don't want you to be the one that I let get away.
Please stay. Please stay.
4: Ten years, ten years down the road,
You have a family, but I am all alone.
Maybe I was right, sometimes you have to walk away,
But now I am wishing that I would have stayed.
I look you, I look you, I look you in the eyes,
It's so hard to explain what I'm feeling inside.
B: I'll use those same old words that you once said to me,
Maybe they'll bring back a memory and then you'll see.
C: That I want you, I need you, you're the one for me,
And when you are not here I'm like the sand without the sea.
I love you, don't leave me, would you please stay?
I don't want you to be the one that I let get away.
Please stay. Please stay.
C: I want you, I need you, you're the one for me,
And when you are not here I'm like the sand without the sea.
I shouldn't have let you walk away so soon,
Don't you know that I need you like the sun needs the moon?
I love you, don't leave me, would you please stay?
I don't want you to be the one that I let get away.
Please stay, please stay.

This is so good......I'm not sure I've got the words!How about "it compares to Joni Mitchell's stuff around the time of "Court and Spark"!That's about as good as it gets!

Oh my goodness, that's one heck of a compliment! Thanks so much!
