The Man That Got Away

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

The dreams you dreamed have all gone astray

The man that won you

Has run off and undone you

That great beginning

Has seen its final ending

Don't know what happened

It's all a crazy game

No more that all 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

The live long night and day

Ever since this world began

There is nothing sadder than

A one-man woman looking for the man that got away

The stars have lost their glitter

The winds grow colder

And suddenly you're older

And all because of the man that got away

Man got away

All because the man that got away
