The Pretty Girl Got Away

Staring out the window pane of glass
Pain of heart, paint the past
I’m lost in a world without a girl
Pansies wave to the paper leaves
Tie the wish on the wishing tree
If the world’s got you, it has me
Kiss my cheek with the winter breeze
Struggle with the memories
If the sun can rise, so can we
You who taught me how to live
You with so much more to give
The pretty girl got away (x2)
I found your picture of an age
Seven years ago today
I look different, how you’ve changed
Sleepy summer sunset yes
Slip beneath th ocean line
The pretty girl got away (x2)
Run to you and flee so fast
Magic makes strange shadows cast
It’s hard to hold on what won’t last
Dull the pleasure and the pain
Take for granted everything
But love is never made in vain
The pretty girl got away (x2)
