|
The night is bitter. |
|
The stars have lost their glitter. |
|
The winds grow colder and suddenly you're older. |
|
And all because of the man that got away. |
|
No more his eager call. |
|
The writing's on the wall. |
|
Dreams have all gone astray. |
|
The man that won you |
|
Has run off and undone you. |
|
That great beginning |
|
Has seen the final inning. |
|
I don't know what happened. |
|
It's all a crazy game. |
|
No more that old time thrill. |
|
Cuz 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 |
|
The live long night at day. |
|
Ever since this world began |
|
There is nothing sadder than |
|
A one-man woman lookin' for the man that got away. |
|
The man that got away. |
