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 gone off and undone you.
|
That great beginning
|
Has seen the 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, good-bye!
|
Ev'ry 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 letup 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 man that got away.
