The Night that Got Away
Chasing Memories: The Unforgettable Night on Bourbon Street
Lyrics
I was playing my old guitar on Bourbon Street at Mardi Gras
Reflecting on playing the guitar at Mardi Gras on Bourbon Street.
It was a bar full of 10's but she was the only one I saw
Noticed a captivating woman in a bar full of attractive people.
She had them black blue jeans and leopard tank top
Describing the woman's attire: black blue jeans and a leopard tank top.
A little Louis purse with the leather wearing off
Details about her accessories: a worn-out Louis purse with leather.
Oh but the way she smiled at me had me forgetting
Her smile made the singer forget the lyrics of the song he was singing.
The words to the song that I was singing
Reflecting on the impact of her smile on his performance.
I wonder if she remembers it
Speculating if she remembers the encounter.
Like the time I can't seem to forget
Comparing the encounter to another memorable moment in the past.
When the night ran out she left town
She left town when the night ended.
And ever since then I miss
The singer has been missing her since that night.
Her sweet smile her red lips
Yearning for her sweet smile and red lips.
Her dancing around and shaking her hips
Recalling her dancing and shaking her hips.
Man she really did me in
Expressing the impact she had on him.
I wish that I could save
Desires to relive or hold on to that memorable night.
The night that got away
Expresses a longing to save or preserve the special night.
I swear she shot me a smile a couple times from across the room
She smiled at him from a distance multiple times.
And I thought I hope she stays long enough for me to make my move
Hopes she stays long enough for him to make a move.
She sang Rocky Top with all of her friends
She participated in singing "Rocky Top" with friends.
They were dancing to Sweet Caroline
They danced to "Sweet Caroline."
Then made her way up to the stage and put her hand in mine
She joined the singer on stage, intertwining their hands.
I wonder if she remembers it
Reflecting on the significance of the shared moment.
Like the time I can't seem to forget
Comparing the encounter to another memorable time.
When the night ran out she left town
Recalling her departure when the night ended.
And ever since then I miss
He has been missing her since that night.
Her sweet smile her red lips
Yearning for her sweet smile and red lips.
Her dancing around and shaking her hips
Recalling her dancing and hip-shaking.
Man she really did me in
Expressing the impact she had on him.
I wish that I could save
Desires to relive or hold on to that memorable night.
The night that got away
Expresses a longing to save or preserve the special night.
Her sweet smile her red lips
Reiteration of yearning for her smile and lips.
Her dancing 'round and shaking her hips
Reiterates her dancing and hip-shaking.
I wonder if she remembers it
Wondering if she remembers the encounter.
Like the time I can't seem to forget
Comparing the encounter to another memorable time.
When the night ran out she left town
Recalling her departure when the night ended.
And ever since then I miss
He has been missing her since that night.
Her sweet smile her red lips
Yearning for her sweet smile and red lips.
Her dancing around and shaking her hips
Recalling her dancing and hip-shaking.
Man she really did me in
Expressing the impact she had on him.
I wish that I could save
Desires to relive or hold on to that memorable night.
The night that got away
Expresses a longing to save or preserve the special night.
