(Fred St-Gelais)

I don't wanna hear about the tears you cried and all the smiles I missed
I don't wanna think about the wasted days, the years that flew away
Cause I got you now, there in front of me, cause you are here with me

I don't want to let you go and keep on waiting
I don't wanna let you stay away for another eternity
I'm not gonna step aside and turn my back
And let you be the one, the one that got away

I don't wanna let it slip, gonna get a grip and hold on to this day
I don't wanna miss a beat
I'll stop to breathe if this is what it takes to
Stop the world now, stop for you and me

I don't want to let you go and keep on waiting
I don't wanna let you stay away for another eternity
I'm not gonna step aside and turn my back
And let you be the one, the one that got away

I don't wanna think about or know about the stories and the memories
I don't care about the times without you by my side

I don't want to let you go and keep on waiting
I don't wanna let you stay away for another eternity
I'm not gonna step aside and turn my back
And let you be the one, the one that got away.
