|
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 it's 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 may 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 livelong night and day. |
