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 writings 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 a final inning
|
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 onto
|
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 might turn up
|
there's just no letup
|
the livelong 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 man that got away
|
