The Man That Got Away

The night is bitter

The stars have lost their glitter

The wind grows colder and suddenly you're older

And all because of the man that got away

No more his eager call

Oh, the writing's on the wall

Dreams have all gone astray

The man that won you

Has gone off and undone you

That great beginning

Has seen its final inning

Don't know what happened

It's all a crazy game

No more, no more that old time thrill

Oh, honey, you've been through the mill

And never a new love will be the same

Good riddance, oh good bye

Every,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 it's tougher

With hope you burn up

Tomorrow, tomorrow he may turn up

There's just no let up

The live long night at day

Ever since this world began

Oh,there ain't nothing sadder than

A one-man woman cryin' for the man that got away
