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 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
A good the 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 the hope, you burn up
Tomorrow he may turn up
There's just no letup
The livelong night and day
Ever since the world began
There is nothing sadder than a one-man woman
Looking for the man that, that got away
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
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 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
A good the 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 the hope, you burn up
Tomorrow he may turn up
There's just no letup
The livelong night and day
Ever since the world began
There is nothing sadder than a one-man woman
Looking for the man that, that got away
The man that got away
