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 its 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
 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 burn up
 Tomorrow he will turn up
 There's just no let up
 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
