The night is bitter
the stars have lost their glitter.
The winds grow colder
Suddenly you're older,
And all because of the man that got away...
No more his eager call,
The writing's on the wall
The dreams you've dreamed have all gone astray.
The man that won you, has run off and undone you
That great beginning, has seen the final inning
Don't know what happened, it's all a crazy game...
No more that old time thrill
For you've been through the mill
And never a new love will be the same
Good riddance, goodbye
Every trick of his, you're on to
But fools will be fools
And where's he gone to?
The road gets rougher
It's lonelier and tougher
With hope you burn up
Tomorrow he may turn up.
There's just no let up
But live lone nigth and day...
Ever since this world began
There is nothing sadder than
A one man woman looking for the man
That got away...
The man that got away...
