|
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 |
