paroles de chanson It Got Away - Joe South

Well, the saddest thing I've ever heard
Was just a common little word, "Goodbye"
But it's better far than holdin' on
To somethin' that we know is gone on by

Well now, don't it kinda make you sad
When you watch a good love go bad
Right before your eyes?
What a cruel surprise
When you lose a good thing

We had it, but it got away
Talkin' 'bout the love that we knew yesterday
The world was ours
Sunshine and flowers
But now it's goin', goin', goin', gone
It got away

You know there's nothin' I could say or do
Would really mean a thing to you anymore
So what's the use of beggin' you to stay
I know that you would only say "What for"?

Well, now, don't it just break your heart
When you see a good love fall apart
Right before your eyes?
Mm-mm, what a cruel surprise
When you lose a good thing

We had it, but it got away
Talkin' 'bout the love that we knew yesterday
The world was ours
Sunshine and flowers
But now it's goin', goin', goin', gone
It got away

Darlin', we had it
But it got away
I'm talkin' 'bout the love we knew yesterday
The world was ours
Sunshine and flowers
But now it's goin', goin', goin', gone
It got away
