Song Lyrics

Hm yeah, yeah.
I 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, the 56th street, make a left at the corner store.
There'll be a house in the alley way,
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 to let it 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,
And baby I miss you and I need you your love,
How could i ever let her get away?
Today is not a happy day,
It could've been our anniversary,
I'd do anything to have you right here in my arms.

Remember when, we talked about,
All the things that we planned to do.
Our wedding day, our house in the valley,
Maybe a kid or two.
We could've had it all babe,
But somehow it all fell apart.
I agree to take the blame,
See I'm feeling so ashamed.
I never should've lied.

I'd give anything (I'd do anything baby)
To see your pretty face again.
Hold you, to feel you,
Heaven give me one more chance.

How could I ever let her get away?
Today is not a happy day,
So many words that I had to say,
And baby I miss you and I need you your love,
How could i ever let her get away?
Today is not a happy day,
It could've been our anniversary,
I'd do anything to have you right here in my arms.

If only it were possible,
For me to turn back the hands of time.
I'd do anything, give anything,
Just to make her mine,
I can't live without your love babe,
I can't go on another day.
Where did she go?
I gotta know.
I let a good girl get away

How could I ever let her get away?
Today is not a happy day,
So many words that I had to say,
And baby I miss you and I need you your love,
How could i ever let her get away?
Today is not a happy day,
It could've been our anniversary,
I'd do anything to have you right here in my arms.

I'd give anything (I'd do anything baby)
To see your pretty face again.
Hold you, to feel you,
Heaven give me one more chance.

How could I ever let her get away?
Today is not a happy day,
So many words that I had to say,
And baby I miss you and I need you your love,
How could i ever let her get away?
Today is not a happy day,
It could've been our anniversary,
I'd do anything to have you right here in my arms.
