Lyrics

[00:05.30]
[00:12.13] The night is bitter,
[00:14.84] The stars have lost their glitter,
[00:18.02] The winds grow colder,
[00:21.08] And suddenly you`re older
[00:23.82] And all because of
[00:27.49] The man that got away.
[00:32.18]
[00:35.83] No more his eager call,
[00:41.59] The writing`s on the wall,
[00:48.90] The dreams you dreamed have all
[00:54.03] Gone astray.
[00:57.42]
[01:00.46] The man that won you
[01:03.06] Has run off and undone you.
[01:06.27] That great beginning
[01:09.06] Has seen it`s final inning,
[01:12.26] Don`t know what happened
[01:15.30] It`s all a crazy game.
[01:21.24]
[01:24.40] No more that all-time thrill
[01:29.81] For you`ve been through the mill,
[01:36.74] And never a new love will
[01:41.29] Be the same.
[01:45.03]
[01:47.05] Good riddance, good-bye.
[01:51.66] Every trick of his you`re on to -
[02:01.05] But fools will be fools and where`s he gone to?
[02:11.46]
[02:12.85] The road gets rougher,
[02:16.08] It`s lonelier and tougher.
[02:19.47] With hope you burn up,
[02:21.94] Tomorrow he may turn up.
[02:25.04] There`s just no letup
[02:28.06] The livelong night and day.
[02:33.84]
[02:37.15] Ever since this world began
[02:42.64] There is nothing sadder than
[02:49.51] A one-man woman
[02:52.41] Looking for the man that got away . . .
[02:56.50]
[03:00.12] The man that got away . . .
[03:08.91]
