(Verse 1)
In the city lights, I find myself tonight,
Thinking 'bout a love lost, feeling oh so right,
She's the one that got away, slipped through my grasp,
Now I'm chasing memories of a love that didn't last.
(Pre-Chorus)
I see her face in every passing crowd,
In every love song playing way too loud,
I'll take this chance, I won't let it decay,
Tonight's the night, memories in the making, I say.
(Chorus)
I'm going out with the one that got away,
Gonna cherish the moments, come what
may,
I'll be her laughter, her sunshine, her light,
Tonight, oh tonight, gonna make it right.
(Verse 2)
I remember when we were young and wild,
A love like ours, it felt just like a child,
But life pulled us apart, we took different roads,
Now I'm hoping fate will rewrite our stories, our oaths.
(Pre-Chorus)
I see her face in every passing crowd,
In every love song playing way too loud,
I'll take this chance, I won't let it decay,
Tonight's the night, memories in the making, I say.
(Chorus)
I'm going out with the one that got away,
Gonna cherish the moments, come what may,
I'll be her laughter, her sunshine, her light,
Tonight, oh tonight, gonna make it right.
(Bridge)
Through the years, I've learned from my mistakes,
I'll show her now, there's no heartbreaks,
I've held on to this love, it's never faded,
With every step, our past will be debated.
(Verse 3)
As I walk up to her, my heart's racing fast,
Hoping that this moment won't be the last,
I say, "Hello, do you remember me?"
She smiles and says, "Of course, how could I ever forget?"
(Pre-Chorus)
I see her face, it's shining like the day,
In this love song, we've found our way,
I've taken this chance, and I won't let it decay,
Tonight's the night, memories in the making, I pray.
(Chorus)
I'm going out with the one that got away,
Gonna cherish the moments, come what may,
I'll be her laughter, her sunshine, her light,
Tonight, oh tonight, gonna make it right.
(Outro)
In the city lights, we've found our way,
Together now, we'll face a brand new day,
She's the one that got away, a memory here to stay,
Tonight, oh tonight, we'll make it our own way.
