The night is bitter, the stars have lost their glitter
|
The winds grow colder, 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 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'll 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
|
